Charles Forelle, who recently left his role as deputy editor at The Wall Street Journal, has been hired at CBS News in a similar capacity, reports Lachlan Cartwright of Breaker. Forelle had served as deputy editor in chief at The Journal since 2023.
His career at The Wall Street Journal spans over two decades, beginning as an intern in Boston where he covered education and technology companies. Forelle then took on reporting assignments in both the U.S. and Europe, demonstrating a wide range of expertise in financial and international news.
In 2006, he and his colleagues in Boston conducted an in-depth investigation into backdated stock options in corporate America. Their groundbreaking series earned the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.
Throughout his career, Forelle has received numerous prestigious honors, including the George Polk Award for business reporting, the Gerald Loeb Award, and the Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting.
In 2007, Forelle moved to Brussels to cover European Union affairs and the European financial crisis. He was part of a team at The Journal that became a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 2011. That same year, he and his colleagues received the Overseas Press Club’s Bob Considine Award for international-affairs reporting, as well as the New York Press Club’s award for business reporting.
Forelle relocated to London in 2012 and advanced to Europe finance editor in 2015. By 2018, he had become the financial editor, overseeing The Wall Street Journal’s coverage of financial markets and the financial industry.
With his extensive experience and track record of award-winning journalism, Forelle’s move to CBS News marks a significant addition to their editorial team.
