The Wall Street Journal has hired Ben C. Solomon as the new senior video correspondent. A veteran international correspondent, Ben has covered nearly every major conflict and humanitarian crisis of the past decade, including the wars in Libya, Syria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine. He is a recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting, a four-time Emmy winner and a three-time Livingston Award finalist. He spent nine years as the New York Times’ first international multimedia correspondent, based in Cairo, Istanbul, Nairobi, and Bangkok. “In his new role at WSJ, Ben will be essential to further elevating our on-the-ground reporting and video journalism,” said Amanda Wills, head of video.
