Fed reporter Zumbrun leaving Bloomberg

Joshua Zumbrun, who has covered the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. economy for Bloomberg News for the past four years, is leaving the news organization.

In an email to Talking Biz News, Zumbrun said he has a new job lined up, but declined to say what it is.

“It was a really tough decision to leave because I have so much admiration for my colleagues at Bloomberg,” said Zumbrun. “I do have a new opportunity lined up. But first I am taking a brief but much-needed sabbatical.”

Before Bloomberg, Zumbrun spent two years as a Washington correspondent for Forbes magazine. He also worked for The Washington Post for four years.

Zumbrun is a Georgetown University graduate in international economics.
