Have talent, will travel.
Anybody remember Valerie Bauerlein, who covered the State House and politics for The State for several years? She left in September 2004 (which, at my age, seems like a couple of days ago) to go to the Washington bureau of the Raleigh paper. Good reporter. Strong writer.
Anyway, I picked up my Wall Street Journal yesterday morning, and there was her byline, on the front page. So she’s moved again. She just can’t seem to stay in one place. But it’s understandable that she would be in demand.
Sorry to hit y’all with inside baseball again so soon. I just thought I’d share that with any of her sources out there who remember her.

We lived right above Valerie in an apartment near Five Points for a year or two when we first moved here. (Y’all REALLY must not pay young reporters a whole lot!) We always enjoyed her writing for the State and wondered where she had gone off to. Of course if she’s living in NY she might be living in an even smaller apartment now! Good to know she’s doing so well.
