Reuters names Schroeder its bank regulation reporter

Kieran Murray, Washington bureau chief for Reuters, sent out the following announcement:

Hi,

A quick update on DC staffing moves and reinforcements to help cover the Trump presidency. Some have already been announced, but not all, so putting them together here in a short note. 

Yasmeen Abutaleb is moving from the San Francisco bureau and will start in DC next week as healthcare reporter, reporting to Michele Gershberg and covering the proposed dismantling of Obamacare. 

Peter Schroeder will join our financial regulation team on Feb 27, reporting to Linda Stern and specializing on Dodd Frank issues and bank regulation. Peter joins us from The Hill, where he is an expert on financial regulation.

We have posted a job ad for Reporter and Lead Writer on the Speed Team.

We have also posted a job covering politics outside the Beltway. The correspondent will not be based in DC but will be a great boost to coverage, reporting to Jason Szep and working closely with our political team.

The Desk has been giving us great support with trunk-writing shifts and we’ll continue with that at least through early March, with special thanks to Frances Kerry, Will Dunham, Alistair Bell and Paul Simao.

Nick Tattersall, our bureau chief in Turkey, will join us for a three-week reinforcement stint starting late this month. The tentative dates are Feb 25-March 17.

Thanks and congratulations to all the above.

 

More to come, we’ll keep you posted.
