POLITICO hires Izabella Kaminska as Senior Finance Editor in Europe.
January 31, 2023
Brussels, Belgium – Izabella Kaminska, founder of The Blind Spot and a long-time veteran of the Financial Times, joins POLITICO as Senior Finance Editor in Europe
In this role, Kaminska will oversee and coordinate all of POLITICO’s Financial Services coverage in Europe. Kaminska will work closely with Sam Wilkin, POLITICO’s new Pro Editor, whose arrival was announced earlier this month, taking POLITICO’s Pro coverage to new heights. She will continue to publish The Blind Spot in cooperation with POLITICO with a mixture of unique and POLITICO content.
“I’m delighted to be joining POLITICO in this pioneering hybrid role which will help forge a symbiotic relationship between a fledging independent and one of the fastest growing new media names in the business centred on shared journalistic values. Independent media has been flourishing over the last couple of years, but what it offers in unbridled independence it often lacks in scale, resources and accountability. With this partnership, the Blind Spot will be able to professionalise its offering by bolting into POLITICO’s core code of conduct policy without losing its unique voice,” said Kaminska. “From POLITICO’s perspective, I see them benefiting from a Skunk Works type of relationship for media."....
