Paula Dwyer, senior editor at Bloomberg News has been named the new president of Overseas Press Club of America, an 81-year-old organization that awards highly coveted prizes devoted to international news coverage for an American audience.
At Bloomberg, Dwyer works with the company’s New York editing hub focusing on business, finance and economic policy. Previously, she held the post of London bureau chief for Businessweek and was Washington economics editor for The New York Times.
During her time at Businessweek, Dwyer shared an OPC award for coverage of globalization in the 1990s. She was also a 2012 Pulitzer finalist for editorials on Europe’s debt crisis as an opinion writer for Bloomberg.
Additionally, Dwyer is the co-author of “Take on the Street,” a New York Times bestseller, with former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt.
“In the coming years, it will be crucial for journalism organizations to stand up for our profession in the face of financial hardships and attacks on our integrity,” Dwyer said. “It will also be important to help guide the next generation of journalists as they take the baton and carry on the free-press mission worldwide.”
