DC Inno reporter Sabin leaving for Morning Consult

Sam Sabin

DC Inno reporter Samantha Sabin is leaving the website that covers entrepreneurs and tech news for a job at Morning Consult.

Her last day at DC Inno is May 8. She will start at Morning Consult on May 16.

Sabin will be on the brands team, covering national media/marketing/tech news and writing the morning brands newsletter.

“Covering the D.C. tech scene has been nothing like I imagined,” said Sabin. “It’s fast-paced, and the community is constantly working on new ways to welcome new startups and technologies to the region. Saying good-bye to the beat hasn’t been easy, but I’m excited to dive back into data-driven storytelling and to expand my scope into national news with Morning Consult.”

Sabin is a May 2016 graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, where she studied business journalism and political science. She interned for CNBC.com in San Francisco and for the business desk at The (Raleigh) News & Observer.

She also worked at the student newspaper The Daily Tar Heel, where she was director of investigations her senior year.

In the past year, Sabin started a podcast called “Good Grief.”
