WaPo biz reporter leaving for NYT

Binyamin Appelbaum, a business reporter for The Washington Post, is leaving the paper to join the business news desk at the New York Times, reports Erik Wemple at Washington City Paper.

Appelbaum previously worked on the business desks of the Boston Globe and the Charlotte Observer.

Wemple writes, “Speaking of his soon-to-be employer, Appelbaum notes: ‘It’s a phenomenal paper and and incredible audience and I’m really excited about working there. It’s just a great opportunity.’

“When asked if his decision was motivated solely by the pull of the Times, the 31-year-old Appelbaum responded, ‘I have loved working here. It’s been a tremendous place to work. It’s incredible in one journalism life to work at both places.’

“Appelbaum got a plum of a job at the Times. He’ll be working an enterprise post on business and economics, from which he’ll be able to ‘dig in deeply’ on lots of issues. Not that the Post didn’t afford him some enterprise moments as well: ‘I’ve had some enterprise opportunities here,’ he said.”
