Izabella Kaminska is the founder and editor of The Blind Spot, an independent media venture focused on uncovering stories overlooked by the broader news cycle. Covering finance, markets, media, and technology, the publication combines analysis, reporting, aggregation, and long-form commentary to surface emerging narratives and underexamined risks. She is also developing The Peg, a dedicated news and intelligence platform covering the evolving stablecoin ecosystem. She is also a regular contributor to the Telegraph.

Previously, Izabella served as senior finance editor at Politico Europe, where she led the expansion of the publication’s financial coverage. Before that she spent 13 years at the Financial Times in a variety of reporting and editorial roles, most notably as editor of FT Alphaville, the FT’s award-winning markets and finance blog. She also wrote columns and opinion pieces on technology, finance, and markets. Her freelance work has appeared in Bloomberg, The Telegraph, Unherd and other trade periodicals.

Izabella began her journalism career in 2001 at the Warsaw Business Journal before reporting from the former Soviet Union for Caspian Business News, covering Azerbaijan and Georgia. In 2003, she freelanced from Kabul, Afghanistan, before joining BP as associate editor of the company’s internal magazine, Horizon.
Following the 2005 Reuters graduate trainee programme, she joined S&P Global Platts to cover European natural gas markets, before moving to CNBC in London as a senior producer on the flagship programme Squawk Box.

Through The Blind Spot, Izabella is pursuing a broader effort to rethink how journalistic information is organised and distributed online, with a focus on improving signal discovery, contextualisation, and narrative accountability in the digital media ecosystem.
