AP biz writer Cutter leaving for LinkedIn

TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE

Chip Cutter, an Associated Press business journalist who covers stocks, investing and the financial markets, is leaving for a job with LinkedIn.

An an e-mail to the staff, AP business editor Hal Ritter writes:

Sorry to report that Chip Cutter is leaving us in two weeks to work for LinkedIn. He’ll be joining somewhat of a start-up operation as LinkedIn adds news content to its website. Chip joined Business News in 2009 as a summer intern after graduating from Indiana University. He did such a great job we hired him at the end of the summer.

An early story by Chip that got much attention was his report on how young people with good jobs were making the most of the Great Recession. He found 20-somethings investing in the stock market for the first time while stocks were at bargain prices. And taking advantage of many other kinds of deals.

Chip joined the Money & Markets team that September and has produced many fine centerpieces and other M&M fixtures the past two years.

Chip’s last day will be next Friday, Oct. 28. Please join me in wishing him the best in his new job.
