Heidi Moore has left The Guardian

Heidi Moore, the well-known finance and economics editor for The Guardian in the United States, has left the British newspaper, a spokesman for the newspaper confirmed to Talking Biz News.

Moore is apparently pursuing a new opportunity expected to be announced soon.

Moore, who has more than 50,000 followers on Twitter, making her one of the top business journalists on Twitter, was hired by The Guardian in 2012 to beef up its coverage of U.S. business and economics news.

Previously, she was New York bureau chief and Wall Street correspondent for American Public Media’s “Marketplace.”

Prior to “Marketplace,” Moore was a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, where she was the lead writer for the paper’s award-winning Deal Journal online and daily newspaper column during the height of the world financial crisis.

Before that, Moore was U.S. bureau chief for the London-based, Dow Jones-owned newspaper and website, Financial News.

For six years, she was also a senior writer covering Wall Street banks and power brokers for The Deal magazine. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Washington Post, New York Magazine, Financial Times and Slate.
