Sam Ali’s Summary

My name is Sam Ali. I'm a New Jersey-based journalist with more than 22 years’ experience in the media business. In October, I accepted a job as Senior Business Editor at DiversityInc magazine. Prior to that, I freelanced business news stories for a number of publications and hosted a series of podcasts on retirement planning for a Fortune 500 company.
I am a compelling storyteller with a talent for researching and understanding complicated financial topics and explaining them to readers with ease. I can quickly gain the trust of sources, enterprise exclusive story ideas, and stay calm and "think on my feet" when news breaks.

Over the years, my work has appeared in The Star-Ledger, New Jersey's leading daily newspaper as well as many other major publications including Private Wealth magazine, The Seattle Times, The Houston Chronicle, the San Jose Mercury News, the Times-Picayune (New Orleans), The Cleveland Plain Dealer and the San Diego Union-Tribune, via the Newhouse News Wire Service.

I have won state and national awards for my work, including the American University School of Communication Journalism Award for Excellence in Personal Finance reporting and the New Jersey Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest for Business and Economic Writing.
