WSJ’s energy editor Eaton leaving paper

Leslie Eaton, U.S. energy editor at The Wall Street Journal, is leaving the paper to become investigative editor at the Dallas Morning News.

Eaton had been in that position since 2014 and was responsible for the combined efforts of the paper’s Dallas and Houston bureaus.

She had been the Texas bureau chief since November 2011. Eaton joined the Journal as deputy chief in Dallas in 2008, playing an important role in our award-winning Deepwater Horizon coverage and developing an unlikely specialty in covering disasters, human and manmade.

She previously spent 14 at the New York Times, where she worked for the business, metro and national desks and spent several years covering the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast.

Her first stint at Dow Jones was at Barron’s, where she was a writer, editor and columnist.
