In a tweet on Monday, Ferro wrote, “I’ll be covering the future of work and the evolving economy @HuffPostBiz, which is a beat I’m super excited about.”
She starts Aug. 24.
In an email to the staff, Huffington Post business editor Alexander Kaufman wrote, “I recommend you acquaint yourself. Shane’s prose is nimble and sharp. She tempers her earnest, curious approach to stories with a healthy dose of journalistic skepticism. Having followed her work for some time now, I can say I have yet to be disappointed by anything with her byline on it.”
Ferro has been with Business Insider for the past year. Her reporting included stories about inequality, employment, the gender wage gap, and how everyday life intersects with economics.
Before that, Ferro worked at Reuters, where she wrote the Counterparties email analyzing the day’s most important business news story. She also created and wrote for the Equals blog, writing and editing posts on gender, economics, and education, and aggregated the best business and economics reporting daily for Counterparties.com.
Ferro is a 2011 graduate of Columbia University.
