WSJ's Craig leaving for NYTimes

Susanne Craig, who has covered Wall Street for the Wall Street Journal for the past decade, is leaving the paper for a similar job at the New York Times, reports Dean Starkman of Columbia Journalism Review.

Starkman writes, “Craig, forty two years old, has covered Wall Street for ten years and is a recognized authority on the beat. She led the paper’s coverage of the fall of Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch and was among the Journal reporters who were named finalists for the Pulitzer Prize for National Affairs Reporting for their coverage of the collapse of America’s financial system.

“Her piece late last year probed so-called ‘trading huddles’ at big brokerages, sparking regulatory investigations into how stock ratings and research are disseminated on Wall Street.

“In June 2004, Ms. Craig, along with colleagues Ianthe Jeanne Dugan, Theo Francis, and Kate Kelly, received the Loeb Award for Deadline Writing for ‘The Day Grasso Quit as NYSE Chief.'”
