Sam Sabin

Politico reporter Sam Sabin, who wrote its Morning Cyber newsletter, is leaving for a new opportunity.

In the newsletter, she wrote, “You all have been so wonderful over these last 15 months while I got my sea legs covering this wild and crazy cybersecurity world, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have been the one sharing the morning’s news in your inboxes every day. Thank you for your loyalty, patience and pet photos.”

She joined Politico in early 2021. She had been covering tech policy since January 2019, authoring the Morning Consult Tech morning and afternoon newsletters, along with taking on the tech policy beat and reporting on anything tech- and telecom-related in Washington.

Sabin previously covered national media/marketing/tech news and writing the Morning Consult Brands newsletter.

She joined Morning Consult in 2018 after covering tech for DC Inno.

Sabin is a May 2016 graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, where she studied business journalism and political science.
