David Moin

Senior Editor, Retail

David Moin has been covering the retail industry and related sectors for WWD for close to four decades. He feels fortunate to be living in New York City, the world's most dynamic retail landscape, giving him an edge into the ebb and flow of the consumer economy and a headstart covering anything from a store opening to a bankruptcy and all the good and bad in between. "It's a turbulent, fast-moving industry, a mix of art and science, with lots of news, many interesting people and always new players." Prior to joining WWD, he worked on weekly newspapers in pre-gentrified Brooklyn, completed an internship at the Smithsonian Institute tracking its media coverage, and worked on a farm in Maine. He is a graduate of the State University of New York in Binghamton, a former marathon runner, and frequently bicycles from his apartment on 18th Street over the George Washington Bridge and into New Jersey. Among his awards, he received the "Journalistic and Creative Excellence Award" from PMC for his coverage of the Barneys New York bankruptcy in 2019; and was awarded by the NRF in 2015 as an "Influencer Shaping the Future of Retail."
