“Jennifer Maloney is an outstanding reporter, one that I'm happy to recommend in the strongest terms. She is excels at every aspect of journalism: she is a creative and prolific generator of story ideas; she is a tenacious reporter and she is a gifted, stylish writer. She is extremely competitive, in a good way. She has also embraced working in emerging platforms (Jen was a key driver of the popular WSJ Book Club) and is one of the WSJ's best social media voices. (Follow her on Twitter!) She is good on TV. She is an excellent source of book recommendations (even if we don't always agree.) Finally, she is an excellent and generous colleague, carving out significant amount of times to mentor interns and more junior reporters. Again, I recommend her in the highest terms and would be happy to elaborate via phone or email. ”
