Anne Reifenberg, an assistant business editor at the Los Angeles Times, is leaving the paper to go work as an editor in the Los Angeles bureau of Bloomberg News, sources at the paper confirmed Thursday.
Reifenberg has been put in charge of the section’s enterprise efforts in March 2007 after a stint as executive editor of West magazine.
She joined The Times in 2003 after nearly a decade at the Wall Street Journal, where she was in charge of the Texas Journal and the paper’s Northwest edition that was distributed in Seattle, Portland and Boise. In a previous posting, at the Dallas Morning News, Anne was the lead writer on a series about violence against women that won the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting for 1993.
Reifenberg, a Portland, Ore., native, has also been an adjunct faculty member at USC’s Annenberg School of Communication.
