Rick Newman, who left Yahoo Finance recently, has started a Substack newsletter called “The Pinpoint Press.”
It will publish daily and focus “on what matters and what doesn’t in the Trump economy,” he wrote on LinkedIn.
He had been at Yahoo Finance since May 2013.
Newman had previously written for U.S. News & World Report for more than 15 years, covering corporate and consumer trends from the magazine’s New York bureau. He was also the magazine’s car reviewer.
Newman played a key role in the expansion of the magazine’s online business coverage. From 1995 through 2001, Newman was U.S. News’s chief Pentagon correspondent, covering wars in Bosnia and Kosovo and reporting from military bases, ships, airplanes, and submarines around the world. He helped anchor the magazine’s 9/11 coverage and the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
