Mia de Graaf

Mia de Graaf has been promoted to a deputy executive editor at Business Insider.

In this role, she continues to oversee health and health care coverage across the newsroom. She is now also in charge of features for the Life department, directing long-form stories on lifestyle and culture topics, including food, relationships, wellness, celebrities, internet culture, and real estate.

De Graaf joined Business Insider’s New York bureau in January 2020 as health editor. Previously, she served as a reporter and editor at the Daily Mail in New York, and freelanced for The Economist, The Guardian, and The Telegraph. Starting out, she worked as a trainee reporter at regional newspapers in the U.K., where she grew up (Manchester Evening News; Caters News) and in Buenos Aires (at the now-shuttered website The Argentina Independent).

De Graaf graduated from The University of York with a bachelor’s degree in literature, the National Council for the Training of Journalists with a diploma in reporting and media law, and completed a certificate of continuing education in international relations at NYU.
