Reuters names new Washington bureau chief

Deputy editor-in-chief Paul Ingrassia told staff on Thursday that Milliken, who formerly covered emerging markets in South America and southern Europe, would take up her new assignment as Washington bureau chief after the US Labor Day holiday, 5 September. In Los Angeles since 2006, she has directed a team of 43 journalists in 17 states.

In the same announcement Ingrassia said Jack Reerink, North America managing editor for the past nine months, is looking at other opportunities following the recent editorial reorganisation that eliminated the regional managing editor roles and established the new position of regional news editor for the Americas. “Jack has generously agreed, at the request of [editor-in-chief] Steve Adler and me, to assist with our transition to a regional news editor under the new structure announced in April.”

Ingrassia also announced the appointment of Jed Horowitz, a 30-year veteran of Wall Street reporting and editing for Bloomberg, Dow Jones, and such publications as Securities Industry News and the American Banker, to the new post of financial companies editor. ■
