David Enrich

Who is David Enrich?

David Jules Enrich is an award-winning reporter at the Wall Street Journal. He was raised with two siblings in Lexington, Massachusetts, while his father taught law and his mother practiced psychology.

In October, David became a story himself when he was threatened with prosecution by a British court for a Wall Street Journal story that named suspects in an investigation into alleged manipulation of an interest rate benchmark. The case was seen as another test of press freedom in the U.K.

David Enrich kicked off his life in journalism as an intern at The Nation in Summer, 2000 and at U.S. News & World Report in 2001 and spent summers interning as a research assistant for the Tax Equity Alliance for Massachusetts, a non-profit think tank specializing in state tax and budgetary policy. Mr. Enrich received his Bachelor's degree in 2001 from Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, California, majoring in government. While in college, Mr. Enrich co-founded claremontmckenna.com, the first online newspaper at the five Claremont Colleges. It promised "the word on the street" at CMC and was dubbed controversial by some for subjecting student leaders and faculty members to celebrity-grade scrutiny.
