The Apprentice has a business journalist
by
Given the Donald’s relationship with a New York Times writer who recently published a book about his operations, I’m surprised to discover that there is a business reporter who is one of the contestants on The Apprentice.
Her name is Rebecca Jarvis, and she has posted some of her stories for Crain’s Chicago Business and Business 2.0 on her web site. You can read the stories here.
I don’t watch the show. But if she wins, do you think the Donald will hire her to write a book to refute the current one?
Rebecca is the daughter of Gail MarksJarvis, a SABEW board of governor member and a business writer for the Chicago Tribune. Gail formerly worked at the Minneapolis paper.
