Biz media ignored story about lax state regulation of lenders

Ryan Chittum of Columbia Journalism Review interviewed John Ryan, executive vice president at the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, who repeatedly tried to get business reporters in the past few years interested in writing a story about how state regulation of lenders was being steamrolled by Wall Street.

But that’s not the end of the story.
“I’ve dealt with some really good journalists, but there was an even bigger story here about how money and influence shape policy and how actively they shape policy and are able to write the rules at the federal level to maximize their profit at the expense of consumer protections or even recognition of the democratic process. What concerned me was that this was not viewed as a news story.”
