Emma Tucker brought fresh eyes to the Wall Street Journal
Manage episode 446474254 series 121009
Emma Tucker became the Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief in 2023, and she’s been moving fast ever since.

In our chat, we discuss all of that, plus more: What her background as a British journalist means as stakes out the Journal’s niche of “American capitalism”; why she felt comfortable running a story suggesting that Joe Biden was “slipping” weeks before it became evident to the entire world; and a brief update on Evan Gershkovich, the Journal reporter who spent more than a year in a Russian jail.
