Pulitzer winner becomes Reuters transportation editor

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Joe White (photo), who left The Wall Street Journal earlier this year, has become transportation editor for Reuters.

He had worked at the Journal for 27 years, most recently as a senior editor. Previously he was global auto editor, based in the Detroit bureau. Other assignments included Brussels in 1994 as news editor and chief of correspondents for The Wall Street Journal Europe and Washington where he was an editor overseeing coverage of business regulation and energy policy.

In 1993, White and the Journal’s then Detroit bureau chief Paul Ingrassia were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for beat reporting for their 1992 coverage of the management turmoil at General Motors. They also received a 1993 Gerald Loeb Award in the deadline/beat writing category for their General Motors coverage.

Ingrassia is now Reuters managing editor. ■
