Jared G. Mitovich is an incoming news associate at The Wall Street Journal. 

Jared graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a bachelor's degree in political science and communication and served as editor-in-chief of the student newspaper, The Daily Pennsylvanian. He led the publication to record readership and the Pacemaker prize, the highest national honor for student journalism. 

Jared’s coverage of campus protests, a Wall Street-fueled donor revolt, and the Penn president’s ouster after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel scooped national outlets and earned him a scholarship from the Overseas Press Club Foundation, which supported his recent reporting across Panama as the country becomes a focal point in the U.S.-China rivalry. 

Jared previously interned on the national desk at POLITICO and covered urban development and federal funding cuts for WHYY, the Philadelphia area’s NPR and PBS affiliate. Jared also wrote about personal finance at CNBC and piloted the first volume of the Yahoo Finance Chartbook as the financial news hub’s editorial intern. Before that, he wrote data-driven features on the 2022 midterm elections, inflation, and healthcare for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
