Nell Henderson, global central banks editor in Washington for The Wall Street Journal, sent out the following announcement:
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Paul Hannon as our Central Banks Editor/Project Specialist, based in London.
We expect Paul will play a vital role in expanding and deepening our coverage of central banks around the world, particularly in the U.K. and Europe. His experience suits the new post perfectly. He joined Dow Jones in 1993, initially reporting on the development of emerging markets, culminating in the crises of 1997 to 1999. After 2000, he wrote about European economies, including central banks. From the mid-2000s, he managed teams of reporters who covered economics, central banks and the bond markets, and who were heavily involved in reporting on the financial crisis and the euro-zone crisis that followed.
He was born in Nigeria and grew up in Ireland, graduating from Trinity College Dublin with a BA and a Masters of Literature in Economics.
Paul will report to Nell Henderson in Washington D.C. while also working closely day-to-day with Dagmar Aalund in London.
Please join us in congratulating Paul on his new role.
