Gillian Reagan of The Business Insider has compiled a comprehensive list of the business reporters in attendance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week.
Reagan writes, “Reuters is sending their largest team of reporters to Davos, including 20 journalists plus editors and three columnists. Reporters Steve Clarke, Natsuko Waki, Gerard Wynn, Martin Howell, Peter Thal Larsen, Felix Salmon, Ben Hirschler and Krista Hughes will be on site.
“Bloomberg TV anchors Margaret Brennan, Andrea Catherwood, Francine Lacqua, Erik Schatzker and radio host Tom Keene are attending along with a small production crew.
“The Wall Street Journal held a contest on MySpace and is sending Sloane Berrett, a correspondent, to report on the panels and parties. Alan Murray, the Journal’s deputy managing editor, and Emma Moody, markets editor, will also be there.

“I would like to share with you today the structure of the new Dow Jones organization and some of the principal leaders. Like most complex global media companies, we need a matrixed structure to operate efficiently while focusing on core products and customers, key functions and primary geographies.
Ritholtz writes, “My bottom line for content is performance — if I can rely on something to provide me insight and information, it becomes a steady part of the media diet. Once I suspect they are no longer capable of that simple investor service, they go on a short leash. Eventually, they reveal themselves as money makers or money losers, and today, the WSJ crossed that line. They are now money losers to those who read them.
Carr writes, “Beyond the newspaper itself, she makes quick work of some of the characters in the saga. Marty Lipton, the Bancroft’s family lawyer, was actually pro-deal from the jump and played both sides of the street with ease. Rich Zannino, the publisher who more or less delivered the newspaper into Mr. Murdoch’s hands, may not have fully understood the implications of what he was doing, but the blow was cushioned by a massive personal payout. Mr. Brauchli, now the editor of The Washington Post, was a seasoned organizational hand who managed up with alacrity and did everything he could to both please his new boss and appease the newsroom, but was shoved out of the way almost immediately by way of thanks.
“The Journal is already home to an outstanding Friday crossword, and readers will no doubt relish our new Saturday line-up of adventurous and addictive puzzles,” said Robert Thomson, editor-in-chief of Dow Jones & Co. and managing editor of The Journal. “Our aim is to amuse and bemuse intelligent people.”
McClellan writes, “The work, created by New York ad shop mcgarrybowen, is the paper’s first major initiative since the ‘Every journey needs a Journal’ push that ran three years ago. (Mcgarrybowen also crafted that earlier campaign.)
“As the last 12 months have demonstrated, this is a fast-paced beat absolutely teeming with news and seemingly endless opportunities to write high-impact stories for A1, B1 and beyond.
