Stephen Power, a Wall Street Journal reporter known for his coverage of energy policy, is leaving the paper for a job at Brunswick Group.
In an e-mail to the staff, Power wrote, “Today’s my last day at The Wall Street Journal. I’m joining the Washington office of the Brunswick Group (http://www.brunswickgroup.com/index.aspx)
“Working for The Journal is the honor of honors – and a lot of fun. There aren’t many newspapers that still pay their reporters to test drive the Bugatti Veyron (http://www.bugatti.com/en/veyron-16.4.html), or explore the world of aerial coyote hunting. Thanks to The Journal, I’ve had these and many other unforgettable experiences.
“But what really makes The Journal special are all of you, and the standards you uphold each day. Thanks for everything you’ve taught me. I’m proud to have been your colleague and will miss you.”
Power will be a director on the firm’s Washington office. He worked at the Journal for 11 years, most recently covering energy policy and before that the automotive sector.
Before the Journal, Power worked at The Dallas Morning News, covering both business and local news, and also at Gannett News Service, reporting on issues affecting the Pacific Northwest.
