Quartz hires NY Times finance reporter Anderson

Quartz editor in chief Kevin Delaney sent out the following announcement Tuesday morning:

I’m happy to announce that Jenny Anderson is joining Quartz as a reporter in our London bureau. Jenny comes to us from the New York Times, where she has worked for over a decade and currently covers finance, and will start around Sept. 1.

At Quartz, Jenny’s mandate will be to write creative, smart pieces around topics such as education, global tax dodging, parenting, marriage, aging, women’s issues, health, fitness, and the conspiracy of central bankers. Our goal is for her to produce stories that capture what curious business professionals are thinking about in terms of their lives, careers, families, relationships, and finances—or should be—and approach those topics in ways that resonate broadly across social platforms. Jenny has a knack for writing accessibly about topics of broad interest from a place of deep knowledge and reporting, a core approach of Quartz from the beginning.

Jenny has a reporting background in behavioral economics, finance, parenting, and education, among other things. She co-authored a book called It’s Not You, It’s the Dishes that applies economic theories to marital relationships. Prior to moving to London in 2013, Jenny covered education and finance for the Times in New York. She earlier won a Loeb award for breaking news for her coverage of Merrill Lynch, was the New York Post’s Wall Street reporter, and wrote about international finance for Institutional Investor.

Jenny has a master’s in international affairs from Columbia and a history and political science degree from Colorado College. You can follow her @jandersonnyt
