I’m a reporter and editor for American Banker in New York.

I studied at Columbia University on the Lorana Sullivan fellowship, and previously worked staff gigs at Legal Times, The San Bernardino Sun and The Washington City Paper. I’ve freelanced for Slate, The Columbia Journalism Review, The Washington Post, and The Dallas Morning News, and worked in East Africa for the Montreal Gazette.

Before beginning my reporting career, I supervised a home for schizophrenics, shelved cat food on the Piggly Wiggly’s graveyard shift, and unloaded salmon boats in Naknek, Alaska. I can be contacted at jeff.horwitz at gmail.com or (212) 803-8577.

I welcome contacts from potential sources, whether confidential or on-record.
