Bloomberg Washington bureau chief Megan Murphy sent this staff hiring announcement out on Wednesday morning:
I am delighted to announce that, from this week, Lynnley Browning has joined us as a reporter on our tax team, reporting to John Voskuhl, and Bill Allison has joined us as a campaign finance reporter, reporting to Josh Gallu.
Lynnley joins us from Newsweek where she was a reporter covering corporate taxes, offshore tax havens and tax trends. In the last presidential election she wrote exclusive, data-driven stories on Mitt Romney’s foreign income, as well as Bain Capital and dividend recapitalizations. She has also written for the New York Times, Fortune, Quartz, Reuters, and the Boston Globe as a tax and accounting reporter and business writer. She spent three years in Russia as a freelance journalist, reporting for Reuters, Economics Group, The Moscow Times and the Los Angeles Times.
Bill brings years of investigative reporting experience, specifically the role of money in politics, from his time at the Sunlight Foundation, where in 2010 he coined the term “dark money,” and at the Center for Public Integrity, where he co-authored “The Cheating of America,” and edited “The Buying of the President 2000” and New York Times Bestseller “The Buying of the President 2004.” Most recently, Bill was a senior staff writer at Foreign Policy magazine.
Please give Lynnley and Bill a warm welcome.
