Rich Jaroslovsky
Executive Editor
Bloomberg News
  Rich Jaroslovsky is the founding president of the Online News Association and has more than 25 years of experience in print and online journalism. He is Executive Editor at Bloomberg News in New York.

Prior to joining Bloomberg, Jaroslovsky was at Ziff Brothers, a private investment firm. Before that he had been a senior editor at The Wall Street Journal, managing editor of The Wall Street Journal Online and executive director of editorial content of Dow Jones Consumer Electronic Publishing.

Jaroslovsky joined Dow Jones in 1975 as a Journal reporter in the Cleveland bureau. He transferred to Washington, D.C., in 1976. In 1981, he became the Journal's White House correspondent, and he was co-winner of the 1983 Aldo Beckman Memorial Award for his White House coverage. In 1985, he was named national political editor in Washington where he wrote the weekly, page-one column, "Washington Wire;" edited the daily Politics & Policy page and the bureau's political, White House and congressional stories; and was responsible for The Wall Street Journal/NBC News Polls.

In May 1994, Jaroslovsky was named the first managing editor of the Online Journal with responsibility for refining plans for the edition and for organizing and managing its news operation. A prototype, Money & Investing Update, was introduced via the Internet in July 1995. The complete online edition was launched in April 1996, and Jaroslovsky assumed additional responsibilities as executive director of editorial content of Interactive Publishing in April 2000.

Jaroslovsky founded and was elected the first president of the Online News Association, an organization of journalists dedicated to promoting excellence in digital journalism. From 1997 to 1999, he taught courses on the impact of the Internet at Duke University's Sanford Institute of Public Policy. He is currently on the faculty of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. In December 2000, he delivered the second annual Hearst Foundation New Media Lecture at Columbia.

A California native, Jaroslovsky received a bachelor's degree in political science from Stanford University, where he was editor in chief of the Stanford Daily.
