Elle Reeve (born c. 1982,[1] given name pronounced /ˈɛliː/)[2] is a correspondent for CNN best known for her award-winning coverage of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia for her former employer, HBO's Vice News Tonight.[3]
Career[edit]
Reeve earned her Bachelor of Journalism degree at the Missouri School of Journalism in 2005.[4]
In the 2000's, 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, due to her involvement in the Scott Thomas Beauchamp controversy.[1] 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 became nationally known after covering the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia for Vice News Tonight,[6] 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,[7] four Emmy Awards,[8][9] and a George Polk Award.[10]
In 2018, Fast Company included Reeve on their 2018 list of the "most creative people in business".[11] She was also nominated in the journalist category at the tenth annual Shorty Awards.[12]
Personal life[edit]
On December 31, 2018, Reeve married her husband Jeremy Greenfield;[13] she had previously been married to Scott Thomas Beauchamp (m. 2007).[14]
As of September 2021, Reeve resides in New York City;[15] previous residences include Germany.
