Margaret Collins, the Washington bureau chief of Bloomberg News, has announced that Chris Roush will take on the role of managing editor of economy and government. In this new position, Roush will oversee coverage of the 2024 election, White House, Congress, and international economics and security. This appointment comes after Roush’s successful tenure as dean of the School of Communications at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut.
Roush has an impressive background in both journalism and academia. Prior to his roles in academia, he worked as a business journalist for notable publications like Bloomberg News, Businessweek, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Tampa Tribune, and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. He also authored two books: “Show me the Money: Writing Business and Economics Stories for Mass Communication” and “Thinking Things Over,” a biography of former Wall Street Journal editor Vermont Royster.
With his extensive experience in both journalism and academia, Roush is a valuable asset to Bloomberg News as it continues to provide comprehensive coverage of national politics and economics. His expertise in business journalism will be particularly useful as he takes on this new role.
