USA Today personal finance writer moves to Kiplinger’s

Sandra Block has left her position as a personal finance reporter and has started at Kiplinger’s Personal Finance.

She had been with USA Today since December 1995. She is now a senior associate editor at Kiplinger’s.

“I’m going to be covering a range of personal finance topics at Kiplinger’s,” said Block in an e-mail to Talking Biz News. “Since I covered the taxes for more than 10 years at USA TODAY, I’ll probably contribute to their tax coverage.

“I left USA TODAY because I was interested in trying something new!” she added. “I’ve never worked for a magazine and am looking forward to stepping away from daily coverage.”

Before USA Today, Block worked at the Akron Beacon Journal as a business reporter for nearly three years. She also worked for the Dow Jones Newswires for four years.

Block is a graduate of Bethany College and the Knight-Bagehot program at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.

Kiplinger's gain and USA Today's loss. I'll follow her wherever she goes. Sandra's clarity and attention to detail makes her fun to read and helpful to heed.
