Elle Reeve (born Elspeth Reeve c. 1982;[1][2] given name pronounced /ˈɛliː/)[3] is an American journalist and correspondent for CNN. She previously worked for HBO's Vice News Tonight, where she won a Peabody Award for her coverage of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Career

[edit]

Reeve earned her Bachelor of Journalism degree at the Missouri School of Journalism in 2005.[4]

In the 2000s, Reeve was a political editor at The Wire; later that decade she joined The New Republic,[5] before being let go in December 2007 by her then-editor, Franklin Foer, after her then-husband, Scott Thomas Beauchamp, reported on widespread American war crimes against Iraqi civilians.[1] She later divorced Beauchamp.[6] In Reeve's view, she was let go because Foer was simply "tired of dealing with the scandal".[1] Reeve has also written articles which have appeared in The Atlantic and The Daily Beast.[5]

Reeve covered the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia for Vice News Tonight,[7] during which she interviewed neo-Nazi Christopher Cantwell and other demonstrating white supremacists, capturing footage of them carrying tiki torches while chanting "Jews will not replace us!" which went viral.[5] Her report, entitled Charlottesville: Race and Terror, earned both her and Vice News Tonight a Peabody Award,[8] four Emmy Awards,[9][10] and a George Polk Award.[11]

In 2018, Fast Company included Reeve on their 2018 list of the "most creative people in business".[12] She was also nominated in the journalist category at the tenth annual Shorty Awards.[13]

As of 2022, Reeve is a correspondent for CNN based in New York City.[14]

Personal life

[edit]

On December 31, 2018, Reeve married Jeremy Greenfield;[15] She had previously been married to Scott Thomas Beauchamp (m. 2007).[6] As of September 2021, Reeve resides in New York City.[14]
