Reuters ME Ingrassia relocating to London

Reuters announced Tuesday that Paul Ingrassia, who was recently named managing editor, is relocating to London from New York and will be based in Canary Wharf where he will oversee the global editorial management of the world’s largest multimedia news organization.

Ingrassia joined Reuters in April 2011 and previously held the title deputy editor-in-chief, Reuters.

“Moving to London literally puts me at the geographic centre of the Reuters news operation. We face many exciting challenges in 2013 and I am committed to ensuring that Reuters continues to produce groundbreaking and award winning journalism,” said Ingrassia in a statement.

Ingrassia is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and the former President of Dow Jones Newswires. He served as President from 1998 to 2006. In 2006 and 2007, Ingrassia served as the company’s vice president for news strategy. During his 31-year career with The Wall Street Journal and its parent company, Dow Jones, Ingrassia also held positions as reporter, editor and executive. As the Journal’s Detroit bureau chief, Ingrassia won a Pulitzer Prize in 1993 with his deputy, Joseph B. White, for coverage of the prior year’s crisis at General Motors. The two also won a Loeb Award that year.

Ingrassia has published two books recently: “Crash Course: The American Automobile Industry’s Road from Glory to Disaster” (2010, Random House) and “Engines of Change: A History of the American Dream in Fifteen Cars” (2012, Simon & Schuster).
