New Role for Veteran Journalist
Kim Chipman, an accomplished journalist with over two decades in market and policy reporting, has joined Agri-Pulse as congressional editor. Chipman brings extensive experience from her 28 years at Bloomberg News, where she specialized in topics related to biofuels, crop inputs, and federal agricultural policies.
During her prolific career at Bloomberg, Chipman spent nine years in the Washington bureau before relocating to Chicago to report breaking news from the Midwest. She actively participated in crop tours, covering essential commodities like corn, soybeans, and wheat, and made significant contributions to reporting on food and water supply issues.
Philip Brasher, Agri-Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, expressed enthusiasm about Chipman’s appointment, stating that her wealth of experience in agriculture, environmental issues, and energy will enhance Agri-Pulse’s renowned coverage of federal food and agricultural policy.
In addition to her agricultural reporting, Chipman has an extensive background in political reporting. She played a key role in polling coverage during the 2020 U.S. elections and provided on-the-ground reporting during President Obama’s 2008 campaign. Chipman has also covered various international meetings, including G20, G8, and G7 summits, and attended five U.N. climate summits, where she was pivotal in shaping Bloomberg’s U.S. climate policy coverage starting in 2005.
Before focusing on agriculture and climate policy, Chipman covered the media industry in the late 1990s and early 2000s and worked as a business reporter in the Czech Republic. Her academic background includes a bachelor’s degree from Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, and a master’s degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.
Originally from Tennessee and Virginia, Chipman enjoys traveling, music, hiking, and spending quality time with friends and family. She can be reached at Kim@Agri-Pulse.com for inquiries.
