Fletcher Leaves WH For Economics Beat

We are delighted to announce that Michael Fletcher will be our national economics reporter. He will examine how individuals and communities throughout the country are coping with economic changes brought on by globalization, taxes, labor policies, shrinking benefits, disappearing pensions, immigration and racial politics, and outsourcing. The economy is emerging as a key issue in next year’s elections, and Michael has shown he has the talent for both the storytelling and the tough analysis that this beat will require.
