Longtime business journalist Walden Siew is among those who are being laid off from Reuters.
Siew, who most recently has been an editor of the Reuters Global Markets Forum, will work at Reuters through Dec. 17.
“I’ve had a great run at Reuters, and got the chance to try something new and experiment with online financial communities,” said Siew in an email to Talking Biz News. “It’s been a tremendous learning experience.”
Siew was also deputy editor of wealth and finance at Reuters, overseeing the wealth management, investment management and investment banking top news pages on the Reuters website. Before that, he was a Reuters reporter for four years, covering structured finance, credit markets, distressed investing and trading in the corporate bond market.
Siew also previously worked at Bloomberg News as a corporate bond reporter, a U.S. Treasury/foreign exchange reporter, and an emerging market reporter on the international desk.
He also worked for Gannett, the Washington Times and as as an editor and correspondent for an online economic newsletter on Southeast Asia.
Siew, a former Society of American Business Editors and Writers board member, has degrees from Boston University and Northwestern.
