Bloomberg News enterprise investigative reporter Mina Kimes, who earlier this year won a SABEW award for outstanding young business journalist, has left the news organization for a senior writer position at ESPN the magazine.
A Bloomberg spokesman confirmed her departure, and her LinkedIn bio now contains her new position.
Kimes was selected as the first winner of the Larry Birger Young Business Journalist prize at the SABEW annual conference in Phoenix in late March. The Larry Birger Award recognizes the nation’s top young business journalist, up to the age of 30.
Kimes had been at Bloomberg for slightly more than a year. Before that, she worked Fortune for four and a half years and Fortune Small Business for slightly more than two years.
She is a Yale University graduate. In 2009, she won the New York Press Club’s Nellie Bly Cub Reporter Award.
