We are pleased to announce that Rebecca Elliott from The Wall Street Journal will be joining the Business desk as an energy reporter based in New York. Rebecca has a wealth of experience, having covered Tesla for over three years and spent nearly three years as an energy reporter in Houston, focusing on the shale boom and its effects on the industry and economy.
In her new role, Rebecca will not only cover the operations of fossil-fuel producers but also explore various aspects of the energy transition, including the search for minerals, elements, and technologies crucial to this shift. Alongside Ivan Penn, she will form a dynamic team dedicated to delivering insightful stories.
Rebecca is known for her storytelling skills, emphasizing a people-first approach in her business reporting. She is known for her curiosity, energy, and understanding of business dynamics and economic ecosystems. Her previous work in Texas was praised for delving into the reasons behind the fracking industry’s struggles despite initial hype. Her coverage of Tesla also showcased her resourcefulness in shedding light on the company’s complex inner workings.
Former colleagues from The Journal and The Houston Chronicle who have worked with Rebecca express excitement to be working with her again, highlighting her exceptional journalism skills. We are eager for Rebecca to bring her exceptional talent and dedication to our readers. Please join us in welcoming her to our team.
