Lizzy Burden

Bloomberg News has hired Telegraph reporter Lizzy Burden to cover the economy and trade.

She will start Dec. 14.

Burden has been with the Telegraph in London for the past year covering trade, as well as central banks, the global economy and the UK Treasury. She was also a presenter for CoronaNomics TV. Before that, she worked for 15 months as a reporter at The Times of London.

“Covering Brexit and Covid for such a great paper this past year has been a privilege,” she wrote on Twitter.

She also assisted in the production of documentary films including “Gerald R. Ford,” which was commissioned by the Presidential Library and broadcast by National Geographic, and PBS’s “American Experience” series.
