In March 2008, Noelle Knox left USA Today to be the new real estate editor of The Associated Press, where she will help create and lead a new real estate and home news service offering breaking news, enterprise features, service articles, multimedia and data.

Inman News named her one of the 100 Most Influential Real Estate Leaders of 2008.

While real estate is her passion, her 20-year career in journalism has taken her to more than a dozen states and 16 countries. She has covered Sept. 11th from the streets of New York; the death of Pope John Paul II from the Vatican; NATO operations in Afghanistan; labor strikes at General Motors from the picket lines in Dayton, Ohio; the dot-com bust in 2000; and she has written more than 100 articles about the current real estate downturn and how it is reshaping communities and lives nationwide.
