Emma Tucker: Steering The Wall Street Journal Through Unforeseen Challenges

Emma Tucker made history in 2022 by becoming the first woman to helm The Wall Street Journal's newsroom since its inception in 1889, assuming the role of editor-in-chief at 56.

Shortly after her appointment, the newsroom faced an unprecedented challenge when one of their journalists, Evan Gershkovich, was arrested in Russia on espionage charges—a historic event echoing Cold War tensions.

Under Tucker's guidance, The Wall Street Journal employed various strategies to maintain visibility for Gershkovich's plight. The paper initiated social media campaigns, established dedicated reader support resources, and consistently covered updates on Gershkovich's situation.

Before leading The Wall Street Journal, Tucker held the editor position at The Sunday Times in London. Her extensive career commenced at the Financial Times, where she spent 17 years working across London, Brussels, and Berlin.

Emma Tucker's leadership during tumultuous times and her commitment to amplifying critical stories reflect her resolve and innovation in steering one of the world's most esteemed newspapers. Her groundbreaking position at The Wall Street Journal and unwavering support for her team showcase her as a leader devoted to journalistic integrity and advocating for her colleagues in times of adversity.

Until Monday,

Emma, Live Well Now Team
