Natasha Rausch

Bloomberg News reporter Natasha Rausch has joined The Forum in Fargo, North Dakota, to cover Native American issues.

At Bloomberg, Rausch covered fintech and e-commerce stocks after working on the industrials, health care, corporate finance and insurance beats.

Rausch writes, “For the past two years, I’ve lived in New York City, working as a business reporter for Bloomberg News. But I’m a Midwesterner at heart. I grew up in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio, then attended journalism school at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln before making my way to the big city.

“Now for my next adventure, I’ve joined The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead as a reporter covering Native American issues in North Dakota and Minnesota. My new job is part of a program known as Report for America, a national service program that places talented emerging journalists in local newsrooms for one year to report on under-covered topics and communities. This year, 61 reporters have joined 50 newsrooms across the country to help fill in coverage gaps.”
