It’s been a privilege to work with so many talented and committed journalists on the Legal and Companies teams, and beyond, and I have no doubt many of the professional and personal connections I’ve developed here will endure. I’m looking forward to the next chapter.
Starting in January, I’ll be doing some editorial consulting and project management for a range of media companies, including documentary producer PerlePress Productions; Infobase Publishing, a multimedia reference company; and a startup that will report on voter fraud and efforts to restrict voting in the United States. I’m also exploring some interesting opportunities inside and outside Thomson Reuters.
Effron was named company news editor in 2014. Before that, he launched the company’s first legal news stream, building a team of journalists to serve legal clients along with financial and media clients.
