About Sam Silverstein
I am a versatile business reporter and editor focused on the intersection of technology, economics and consumer behavior. I have experience covering the retail, insurance, real estate, satellite communications and aerospace industries.I bring a “backpack journalism” mindset to my role as a digital news professional, and am as comfortable working remotely – at home or on the road – as collaborating face-to-face in a busy newsroom. I am proficient with AP style, content management systems, newsletter production platforms and video-editing software. A native of New York City, I have degrees in journalism from American University and The George Washington University, and serve as national treasurer of the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE).
