Shane Shifflett is a reporter for The Wall Street Journal and a multiple-time Pulitzer Prize finalist. His recent work focuses on Los Angeles's efforts to rebuild after the 2025 fires, how President Trump's immigration agenda is funding an expansive dragnet to surveil Americans online, and how private-equity-linked insurers took on risks that regulators didn't see.
His past coverage includes exposing greenwashing in carbon offsets and sustainable funds, a debt collector that kept suing during the pandemic, unsafe and banned products on Amazon, and fraud in hundreds of cryptocurrency offerings.
He also teaches journalism at Columbia University.
