WSJ’s Enrich hired as NY Times financial editor

David Enrich

New York Times business editor Ellen Pollock sent out the following announcement on Wednesday:

I’m thrilled to announce that David Enrich will be financial editor at Business Day.
David comes to us from The Wall Street Journal, where he is the financial enterprise editor, managing a team of investigative reporters. Prior to that he was the paper’s European banking editor, based in London, and also worked on his own reporting projects.
David joined The Journal in 2007, and his first assignment was covering the U.S. banking industry. He also worked at the Dow Jones News wires, and was a reporter in Washington for States News Service.
His series on the mastermind behind the Libor scandal won the 2016 Loeb award for feature writing. David’s other awards include a 2012 Overseas Press Club award for coverage of the European financial crisis and a George Polk award for coverage of insider trading. He was part of the team of reporters who were finalists for Pulitzer Prizes in 2009 and 2011.
David’s book, “The Spider Network: The Wild Story of a Math Genius, a Gang of Backstabbing Bankers, and One of the Greatest Scams in Financial History,” was published in March by an imprint of William Morrow.
So please welcome David. He’ll join us in September.
