Bloomberg hires Krasny from Reuters

Rosalind Krasny has been hired by Bloomberg News to be its new Washington weekend editor.

She will start on March 16.

Krasny comes to Bloomberg after 12 years at Reuters, the last two as editor-in-charge of commodities, energy and companies coverage out of Washington. She previously was their bureau chief in Boston, where she helped anchor early coverage of the 2012 presidential campaign, and a Federal Reserve/economic policy reporter.

She also spent many years writing about agricultural commodity markets with Bridge News and Knight-Ridder Financial news.

Krasny was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, but really grew up in Chicago on a steady diet of bratwurst and Bears football games. She has two degrees from Northwestern University, a Bachelor of Philosophy and a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies.
