Six journalists were selected for the 2026 Personal Finance Summit by the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing on Oct.9 in New York.
The fellows will discover how personal finance stories can build trust and illustrate the impact of economic change. They will come away with practical tools and insights to elevate their reporting, including tips for creating engaging personal finance video, reporting in an era of reduced oversight, how AI can and can’t help inform your financial reporting, how to make a name for yourself and the state of personal finance journalism.
“Strong personal finance journalism can change what people know about money, what questions they ask and ultimately, what financial decisions they make. SABEW is proud to support journalists whose work makes that kind of impact in underserved communities.” says Kelli Grant, SABEW vice president and senior personal finance editor, CNBC, in a statement.
The fellows include:
- Shari Biediger, development reporter, San Antonio Report
- Everett Eaton, neighborhood dispatch reporter, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
- Jazmin Goodwin, freelance reporter and founder, What the Fem Media
- Srivindhya Kolluru, freelance journalist
- Adriana Morga, financial wellness reporter, The Associated Press
- Victoria Vesovski, senior staff reporter, Moneywise
“Our longstanding partnership with SABEW is meaningful and relevant because it advances effective consumer and personal finance journalism,” says Paul Golden, managing director of the National Endowment for Financial Education, in a statement.
SABEW selects fellows through a committee process. The fellowships are funded by the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE).
