Greg Roumeliotis, editor in charge of deals at Reuters, sent out the following announcement on Wednesday:
I’m pleased to announce that Gui Qing Koh has started this week as our new private equity reporter, based in New York.
U.S. colleagues may recognize her byline from a special report last week which revealed the existence of a Chinese government-controlled radio network that broadcasts pro-Beijing programming in more than a dozen American cities, including Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, Houston and San Francisco, prompting the Federal Communications Commission and the Justice Department to open investigations.
Gui Qing joins us from the Reuters bureau in Beijing, where she spent the last five years telling the story of China’s economy. A native of Singapore, she joined Reuters nine years ago after getting a journalism degree from Nanyang Technological University, and previously covered central banks and the foreign exchange market in Singapore and Sydney. She hopes New York winters won’t be as bitingly cold as Beijing’s, and looks forward to early morning runs before work.
Please join me in welcoming Gui Qing to the Americas and congratulating her on her new role.
