Media Movers Q&A: Jackie DeAngelis of Fox Business
Last week, we introduced you to Taylor Riggs, co-host of the new ‘Big Money Show’ on Fox Business. Today, we’re spotlighting the equally talented Jackie DeAngelis. Jackie didn’t set out to be a journalist; she started her career on Wall Street and earned a law degree. Still she credits these experiences as a fitting prelude […]
Media Movers Q&A: Taylor Riggs of Fox Business’ ‘Big Money Show’
I’m passionate about personal and professional development, which made this week’s Media Movers interview special. Taylor Riggs represents the best of the best: She’s smart, driven and always working to better herself. The Fox Business team was just as impressed. Taylor was recently hired away from Bloomberg to co-anchor the “The Big Money Show,” which […]
Media Movers Q&A: Journal of Accountancy’s Courtney Vien
Whenever I read about a publication going digital-only, I instinctively mourn yesteryear. But I’ve never thought about all the trees that went into the print process. It turns out that the Journal of Accountancy did: Becoming carbon neutral was a big part of why the storied publication went digital after more than a century. The […]
Dawn Wotapka’s Media Movers: Investopedia’s Caleb Silver
One of journalism’s golden rules is to write simply, which can be tricky when trying to boil down complicated financial terms. Numerous times over the years, I’ve relied on Investopedia to help me understand everything from short selling to credit default swaps. Since its founding in the late 1990s, Investopedia has in fact helped millions […]
Dawn Wotapka’s Media Movers: InvestmentNews’ EIC Paul Curcio
When InvestmetNews went looking for a new EIC, he was already there. The leadership promoted Paul Curcio, an industry veteran with a roster of top-tier publications on his resume. (Note to hiring managers: Sometimes the best person for the job is right under your nose.) Paul’s serving as the linchpin in sweeping round of changes […]
Dawn Wotapka’s Media Movers: Kiplinger Retirement Report’s David Crook
David Crook is one cool guy. His journalism resume is supplemented by diverse interests that make for great conversation, including map freak, dog walker and canoeist. (And yes, that’s a two-volume Oxford English Dictionary right behind him in the photo.) Investigations involving soggy nursing home mac and cheese? He’s down for that, too. (Read on.) […]
Dawn Wotapka’s Media Movers: The Block’s Walden Siew
Walden Siew isn’t afraid to dive into a complicated financial topic. Early in his career, he wrote about corporate bonds for Bloomberg, not exactly a finance journalism no-brainer. He’s also worked for Reuters, LinkedIn and the Employee Benefits Group at Arizent (formerly SourceMedia). Siew recently left Investopedia for The Block, where he’s serving as executive editor. […]
Dawn Wotapka’s Media Movers: finance freelancer Chris Taylor
You can often find Chris Taylor at one of two places: behind his keyboard or on the run. Literally. I’ve known him for years and have always been impressed by his sage advice that appears in several sterling publications, coupled with his ability to cross the finish line with seeming effortlessness. Taylor wrote about personal […]
Dawn Wotapka’s Media Movers: Roben Farzad of ‘Full Disclosure’
“Full Disclosure” is of course the name of Roben Farzad‘s popular RadioIQ podcast. But before we get into that, here’s a full disclosure worth noting: This columnist laughed — a lot — while preparing this week’s piece (and hopes you will as well). For who else, on his LinkedIn shingle, would list as one […]
Dawn Wotapka’s Media Movers: Alex Weldon of Bonus
This week, I took a gamble (sorry, I couldn’t resist a pun) and chatted with Alex Weldon, the casino news editor for Bonus. While many journalists brag about A-list internships, Alex is a former semiprofessional poker player who has been writing about online gambling professionally since 2014. His team’s work, which includes everything from elections […]
