Editor-in-Chief
Jennifer Newman
I bring more than 25 years of journalism experience, including over 15 years in the automotive space, and currently lead Cars.com’s Editorial team. If you’re thinking this sounds like an amazing job … you’re right, it is. I’m passionate about helping car shoppers find the right vehicle for their lifestyle and budget. I’ve been a certified child passenger safety technician for more than 15 years. And I’m also the director of juror relations for the World Car Awards steering committee. I live in Chicago with my husband, our two sons and our rescue dog. When I’m not driving test cars, you can find me zipping around the city in my Hyundai Ioniq 5.
