James Sterngold, a reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek, left the business magazine earlier this week, a spokeswoman confirmed Thursday.
It is unknown if he left for another job. He had been at the magazine since May 2009.
Last year, Sterngold won the award for best financial/economic reporting at the Foreign Press Association Media Awards 2010.

Sterngold was once the Los Angeles bureau chief for The San Francisco Chronicle, which he left in September 2007. He worked as a correspondent and reporter for The New York Times from 1984 to 2002 and is the author of “Burning Down the House: How Greed, Deceit and Bitter Revenge Destroyed E. F. Hutton” (Summit Books, 1990).
He graduated from Middlebury College and received a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia.
