Title: Bailey joins New York Times business staff
Posted By: Jim Romenesko
 
Memo from New York Times business editor Larry Ingrassia

I'm pleased to announce that Jeff Bailey, a former editor and reporter at the Wall Street Journal, and former editor in chief of Crain's Chicago Business, will join Business Day as a reporter covering accounting,
corporate financial shenanigans and related issues.

Jeff is a passionate journalist, a reporter who loves to break news about companies, to dissect corporate accounting to find out what's really going on, to spotlight dubious corporate practices and to write hard-hitting and engaging enterprise stories about important issues. Throughout his career, he has shown an ability to write smart and compelling stories on a variety of subjects from bank failures to questionable lending activity to corruption in the garbage disposal business.

Jeff most recently was editor of Crain's Chicago business, from 2003 to 2005, where he oversaw a redesign of the publication. Before that, he
worked at the WSJ in a variety of jobs starting in 1983, and before that he was a reporter at the Orange County Register and the L.A. Times.

Jeff says, "I fell in love with the news business, via the L.A. Times library, quite by accident, having intended to get a job in the pressroom
(no openings) at age 18. Dropped out of college, worked for free writing
business stories while working nights in the library, and snuck in the back door. Felt fortunate every day since."

He will work out of the Chicago office while his son finishes the last two years of high school. He lives in the Bucktown area of Chicago, which he describes as "a former hip artists' neighborhood fast becoming overrun by middle aged guys like me." He adds that he's a low-grade architecture buff and an even lower-grade World War II buff.

Jeff will join us on June 13, and will work out of our office in New York for a couple of months before getting situated in the Chicago bureau.

Join me in welcoming Jeff to the Times.

Larry
