Bloomberg Atlanta bureau chief stepping into senior editing role

Anita Sharpe

Anita Sharpe, the Atlanta bureau chief for Bloomberg News for the past 10 years, is moving out of that position into an editing role.

Sharpe has joined the economy team as a senior editor for a new initiative called Real Economy, which goes beyond the numbers to show how economic conditions are impacting people in the real world. She has been working with reporter Mike Sasso in the Atlanta bureau for the past couple of years on economy-related stories, so this is a natural outgrowth of that work.

Sasso has also joined the economy team as a reporter.

The new bureau chief for Atlanta job description calls for a reporter — rather than an editor — who will be able to report and write important step-back stories as well as break news.

Sharpe previously worked for the Atlanta Business Chronicle and The Wall Street Journal.
