AP economics reporter leaving for Bloomberg

Jeannine Aversa, a longtime business reporter for the Associated Press, has resigned to accept a position with Bloomberg News.

Aversa told Talking Biz News that she will be covering the Federal Reserve at Bloomberg and start on June 13. Her last day at the AP’s Washington bureau is May 25, ending a 17-year run.

Since 1999, she’s covered economics for the AP, including the Fed and the  Treasury Department.

Earlier this year, she became the first woman reporter to ask a Federal Reserve chairman a question during a press conference. Of course, it was the first press conference ever given by a Fed chairman.

“Since 2000, I also have been part of the AP’s election analysis team, which calls presidential, senate and others races on election night,” said Aversa in an e-mail. “I have reported on politics, law enforcement, telecommunications and other areas at the AP.”

Aversa is a graduate of the University of Missouri.
