Jack Walsworth covers Volkswagen, Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Scout, auto startups, motorsports and Future Product Pipeline for Automotive News. He’s a lifelong car enthusiast and spent his formative years reading publications such as Car and Driver, Road & Track and Autoweek, while also attending the Chicago Auto Show each winter. What began in 2016 as a part-time internship at Automotive News has turned into a career in business journalism, working alongside a global team of reporters and editors. Walsworth initially covered Subaru of America and a handful of exotic and ultraluxury brands. In 2021 he helped build the award-winning coverage of dealership mergers and acquisitions, or buy-sells. His beat was paired with covering auto retail giants Lithia Motors Inc. and Sonic Automotive Inc. in what was a new era of dealership consolidation.
