Before starting at NPR in April 2020, Banerjee spent five years as senior correspondent at Inside Climate News, where she led the team that revealed how Exxon had conducted its own ambitious climate research as far back as the mid-1970s.

Before ICN, Banerjee was the energy and environment reporter in the Los Angeles Times' Washington, D.C., bureau.

She began her journalism career at The Wall Street Journal, where she served mostly as a Russia correspondent.
