Elspeth "Elle" Reeve[a] (born 1981 or 1982[1]) is an American journalist. Before joining CNN as a correspondent in 2019, she reported on the 2017 white-nationalist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia for HBO's Vice News Tonight. Reeve and Vice News Tonight won a Peabody Award, four Emmy Awards, and a George Polk Award for their reporting.

Education and career

[edit]

Reeve attended the Missouri School of Journalism, earning a Bachelor of Journalism degree in 2005. After graduating, she interned at Time magazine and worked for the Center for Public Integrity in Washington, D.C.[4]

Before joining Vice News, Reeve was a senior editor at The New Republic and politics editor at The Wire.[5] She has also written articles for The Atlantic and The Daily Beast.[6] While working for The New Republic, Reeve was assigned to fact-check allegations by her then-husband Scott Thomas Beauchamp of widespread American war crimes against Iraqi civilians. The allegations were later retracted after facing criticism by conservative bloggers.[1][7]

Reeve covered the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia for Vice News Tonight,[8] during which she interviewed neo-Nazi Christopher Cantwell and other white supremacist demonstrators, capturing soon-to-be-viral footage of attendees carrying tiki torches while chanting "Jews will not replace us!".[6] Her report, entitled Charlottesville: Race and Terror, earned both her and Vice News Tonight a Peabody Award,[9][10] four Emmy Awards,[9][11] and a George Polk Award.[9][12][13]

In 2018, Fast Company included Reeve on their 2018 list of the "most creative people in business".[14] She was nominated for a Shorty Award for journalism the same year.[15] Reeve joined CNN as a correspondent in 2019.[9]

Personal life

[edit]

Reeve married United States Army Private Scott Thomas Beauchamp in 2007;[1] they later divorced.[citation needed] On New Year's Eve in 2018, Reeve married Jeremy Greenfield.[16] As of 2024, Reeve resides in New York City.[17] She gave birth to her first child in February 2024.[18]
