Bloomberg News has hired LaKenya Finley an editor for Bloomberg’s energy and commodities group in the Americas.
Finley joins from Texas Monthly where she was an assistant editor working on a wide range of Texas-centric cultural, political and news coverage, including stories on the state’s energy industry.
She got her start at Newsday in the intensive METPRO copy editing program and then joined the Los Angeles Times, where she worked as a copy editor for 10 years, doing rotations on the features, national and metro copy desks before moving to the digital multi-platform desk.
A Louisiana native, Finley left Los Angeles in 2012 and moved back to Texas to be closer to her extended family.
Finley will start with Bloomberg on Sept. 5, and will be based out of the Houston office.
