She has been a key leader as the business news department has focused on stories that readers want to click and share. She has pushed the department to give voice to subjects that traditional business journalism has ignored. And she has pushed reporters to look for ways to show how economic ripples can move across the world based on war, disaster and political change.
In 2022, she launched the grant-funded financial wellness initiative, which uses innovative storytelling techniques to bring important information about budgeting, debt and other topics to underserved audiences.
Cara and the other leaders in Business News will continue building on the momentum that they have, and the AP will look to the department to help broaden and diversify the report with more alternative storytelling formats and visuals.
Cara starts immediately. She will remain in London.
We have a great management team in Business news, a growing grants operation and a staff of aggressive reporters who have experience and deep knowledge of their beats. We can’t wait to see how the department evolves in 2024 and beyond.
Congratulations to Cara.
