The senior reporter covering mergers and acquisitions must be a newsroom leader who helps guide all aspects of MLex coverage.
The senior reporter must:
— Establish a reputation — effectively, a brand name — among readers interested in the impact of regulatory decision-making on mergers and acquisitions.
— Identify travel priorities, and work with the managing editor to see to it that limited resources are deployed to greatest effect.
— Target sources for special attention and interaction over lunch or coffee, or at professional conferences or elsewhere.
— Set coverage priorities, identifying key cases and covering those cases with minimal supervision.
— Provide creative analysis of events, illuminating context and big-picture trends.
— Provide commentary that relies on exclusive sourcing or insight.
— Discuss legal strategies in the context of precedent and politics.
— Offer predictive insight into regulatory risk.
— Work with and assist researchers to ensure that case files are properly maintained.
— Collaborate with other reporters to share expertise.
Requirements:
— MLex senior reporters typically have advanced degrees in journalism or law, or comparable experience. Ten years of journalism experience, including coverage of competition regulation, is preferred.
