Saba joining Reuters Breakingviews

Jeffrey Goldfarb, U.S. editor for Reuters Breakingviews, sent out the following announcement on Tuesday:

I am pleased to announce that Jen Saba is joining the Breakingviews team in New York after five years in the Reuters newsroom. She brings with her more than 15 years of experience covering the business end of the publishing, advertising and broadcasting industries, training that will serve her well as she makes the transition to agenda-setting financial commentary. Jen’s sharp analytical eye has been evidenced by her piercing stories on the imperious ways of then-Dow Jones boss Lex Fenwick; New York Times scion Arthur Sulzberger’s pay package; and the return of the prodigal son, James Murdoch, at Fox.

At Breakingviews, Jen will keep setting the agenda on Big Media, as well as training her sights on Silicon Valley, Wall Street and beyond.

Jen, who earned a master’s degree in journalism from Stanford University and a bachelor’s in English from the University of Texas at Austin, joined Reuters in 2010 from Editor & Publisher magazine. There, she was twice awarded the Jesse H. Neal Award for best series of articles.

Jen is slated to start with Breakingviews on July 6.
