Jacobs completed his Bachelor's and Honours degrees at the University of Cape Town, and received a UCT Council Honours Merit Award. According to the publication, after graduating, Jacobs joined Daily Investor as a journalist — and has consistently made strong contributions to the publication.
Daily Investor has grown to become a South African influential finance and investment publication, with 2-million monthly readers, thanks to Jacobs' contributions.
The publication is known for its in-depth coverage of South Africa's financial sector, including listed companies, macro-economic policies, and business news. Daily Investor's popular podcast series, Smart Money with Alishia Seckam, has also become the place for the captains of industry to share their views, adds the publication.
Broad Media CCO Kevin Lancaster says Jacobs is a talented journalist with excellent insight into the business and financial sectors.
"Jacobs rapidly rose through the ranks, thanks to his high-quality work and his dedication to journalism. He is an asset to Daily Investor," says Lancaster.
"He will now join the management team which makes decisions on the strategy and the direction of Daily Investor."
"This promotion is well-deserved, and Jacobs is on his way to becoming one of South Africa's top business editors," concludes the publication.
