Washington Post launches Finance 202 newsletter

The Washington Post launched Tuesday The Finance 202, a daily newsletter that will focus on financial and economic policy, examining how the debate in Washington impacts the financial industry, investors and consumers.

“The Finance 202 brings readers the on-the-ground look at legislative priorities on Capitol Hill and in the Trump administration, like the future of Dodd-Frank, deregulation and tax reform, providing context around the issues up for debate and explaining what they mean for the financial industry as well as the country,” said Rachel Van Dongen, editor of PowerPost.

Authored by reporter Tory Newmyer, The Finance 202 will contain original reporting and analysis and will include content curation from social and around the web providing essential reading for stakeholders in Washington and New York.

Newmyer joined the Post in March from Fortune magazine, where he had worked in the Washington bureau.
