Reuters DC reporter moves to LA

Lisa Richwine, a reporter in the Washington bureau of Reuters, has moved to the wire service’s Los Angeles bureau, where she started Tuesday.

Richwine’s new job is covering Disney, Netflix and the business side of Hollywood.

Richwine, an Ohio University graduate, previously covered health and medicine from the DC bureau, as well as science, business and politics.

In an e-mail, Washington bureau chief Mary Milliken wrote, “Lisa brings to LA an impressive track record of breaking news and source-building that will serve her well in cracking one of the toughest companies to cover – Disney. Needless to say, the West Coast’s gain is Washington’s loss. We know Lisa will be missed in DC after more than 15 years in this bureau. But you might miss her less when she starts telling you how wonderful the weather is….

“Please join me in congratulating Lisa on her new job and wishing her all the best in her big move west.”
