Timothy Weatherhead with Alan Greenspan

Timothy Weatherhead, one of the reporters laid off at Market News International last month, has found a new job.

Weatherhead has been hired as a financial regulation reporter for The Hill.

He was one of 17 business journalists laid off at Market News International in July, shortly after it was acquired by private equity firm Hale Global, which is also running AOL’s former Patch operation, from Deutsche Börse.

Weatherhead had worked at Market News for 15 months in its Washington bureau, covering lockups at the Federal Reserve Board, U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. Department of Agriculture.

He also covered wide variety of economic news, including congressional hearings on housing and bank regulation and speeches from Federal Reserve regional presidents and Board of Governors members.

He has degrees from Michigan State University and Georgetown University.
