WSJ's Kelly to join CNBC

Kate Kelly, one of the top reporters at The Wall Street Journal, is leaving the paper for a job at CNBC, a spokesman for the business news network confirmed on Friday.

An official announcement is expected next week. Kelly published a book last year on the fall of Bear Stearns called “Street Fighters.”

Kelly writes for Money & Investing section, where she has covered the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, the American Stock Exchange and trading firms.

Prior to joining The Journal in January 2001, Kelly was a writer and reporter for Time magazine in 2000, where she covered business, society news and politics, including the presidential vote re-count. She also worked as a reporter for the New York Observer from 1997 to 2000.

In February 2004, the American Society of Newspaper Editors named Kelly, along with fellow Journal reporters Ianthe Jeanne Dugan and Susanne Craig, finalists for the Jesse Laventhol Prize for deadline news reporting by a team. In October 2003, she and fellow Journal reporter Craig jointly received an award from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University for spot news coverage of the New York Stock Exchange.

Born in Washington, D.C, Kelly received a bachelor’s degree from Columbia College at Columbia University. She currently resides in New York City.
