TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE

David Henry, a longtime business journalist, has been hired by Reuters to cover Wall Street bank JP Morgan and will start on the job on April 25, sources at the wire service confirmed to Talking Biz News on Thursday.

Henry raised eyebrows last November when he resigned from Bloomberg, where he had been covering banking on the finance team, without another job. Before that, he was a senior writer at Bloomberg Businessweek.

Prior to BusinessWeek being acquired by Bloomberg, Henry was an associate editor at the magazine.

Henry came to BusinessWeek in 2001 from USA Today, where he was the Wall Street columnist. Henry has also worked at Forbes, The Jackson Sun, The Nashville Banner, and The Des Moines Register.

In 2002, Henry received a Loeb Award and World Leadership Forum Business Journalist of the Year award in the Corporate Finance Division. He holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University.
