Kiplinger Personal Finance has hired longtime business journalist David Milstead as senior associate editor.
He spent the last 15 years writing for The Globe and Mail, the national newspaper of Canada.
A business journalist since 1994, he has written about investing, executive compensation, corporate governance, public pensions, accounting, financial reporting and taxes.
Milstead spent eight years at the now-defunct Rocky Mountain News in Denver, Colorado. Before that, he had a short stint at the Wall Street Journal and at publications in Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio and his native South Carolina.
He’s won nine national business journalism awards from the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing as an individual or as member of a team and has been a finalist or winner five times in SABEW’s Canadian contest, including from 2022 to 2024 for column writing.
In 2022, Milstead and his Globe and Mail colleagues won Canada’s National Newspaper Award for investigations and the country’s highest prize for journalism, the Michener Award, for stories on the Catholic Church’s relationship to the country’s residential schools for Indigenous children.
He and other colleagues were finalists in 2022 for the National Newspaper Award for politics coverage for a project on the government’s COVID wage-support program.
