Dow Jones Newswires financial regulation reporter Victoria McGrane will be joining the Wall Street Journal’s Washington bureau in October to augment its coverage of financial regulation, according to a memo distributed Wednesday by bureau chief John Bussey.
McGrane will work closely with Journal staff writers Deborah Solomon and Damian Paletta who are taking on new beats in Washington.
Solomon will be the paper’s point reporter on the new regulatory and business landscape brought on by passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, and on the myriad ways Washington is trying to change high finance. Paletta will be the new economic-policy reporter, covering all things Treasury.
McGrane covered Congress, the financial services industry, the 2008 presidential campaign, and the financial crisis for Politico from 2007 to earlier this year, and was the economics and finance reporter for Congressional Quarterly from 2006 to 2007. She was a staff reporter for the Keene Sentinel in Keene, N.H. from 2002 to 2004.
She graduated from Dartmouth College in 2002 with a degree in history, and earned a Masters from the London School of Economics in 2005.
