Daniel Rubin

I am the Senior Editor for Investigations and run the Quick Strike team, which conducts faster-turn accountability stories and examinations of the news of the day. I have worked at The Inquirer since 1988 as a reporter, metro columnist, foreign correspondent, enterprise editor, and news features editor.

I came to The Inquirer in 1988 as a reporter covering Northeast Philadelphia. After a stint in Montgomery County, I joined the City Desk in 1990 and covered various Philly neighborhoods — NE, NW, Center City — then moved to Features, where I launched a weekly column called Snapshots.

Next came three years abroad, as European Bureau Chief, where the end of Milosevic, the Hamburg cell from the Sept. 11 terror attacks, and the Second Intifada defined my time.

A return to Features followed, and I developed a daily blog called Blinq that let me cover the news of the moment. For six years I wrote a twice-weekly metro column, spent a year as Social Media Director, while writing another blog called The Talk, then a second career as an editor beckoned.

Since then, Deputy Metro Editor, Enterprise Editor, News Feature Editor, and now the I Team. I went to Northwestern for undergraduate and then J school, and I taught Urban Journalism at Penn for a decade.
