KC Star biz reporter leaving for Reuters DC bureau

Dan Margolies, a business reporter at the Kansas City Star, has resigned to accept a position in the Washington bureau of Reuters, where he will join a team investigating financial crimes.

Justin Kendall of The Pitch writes, “Margolies’ new title with Reuters: senior correspondent, financial crimes.

“Margolies tells us that he’ll be covering the fallout of the recession and the bailouts as well as civil and criminal prosecutions and investor lawsuits.

“If that wasn’t enough, Margolies writes in an e-mail: ‘I’ll also be helping to lead a team of financial crime correspondents in multiple states, traveling to cover cross-border stories in places like London, Zurich and Hong Kong, and working with Reuters’ journalists and editors abroad.’

“Sounds like the A-Team of financial reporters. So he’s going to be really, really busy.”
