For the New York Times reporter that I will be following over the course of the semester, I have chosen Keith Bradsher. He is a business and economics reporter and the Shanghai bureau chief of The New York Times. Before working for the New York Times, Keith Bradsher was the chief Hong Kong correspondent. He reported on Greater China, Southeast Asia and South Asia on topics ranging from economic trends to the environment. Keith Bradsher has won several awards for his reporting and was part of a team of New York Times reporters who won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for a series of 10 articles about the business practices of Apple and other technology companies.
I selected Keith Bradsher because of the topics he writes about as well as his style of reporting. As an economics major, I am really interested in U.S. and China relations at the economic level as well as general economic trends. I am also very fascinated by the way Keith Bradsher writes his leads. They have a little edge and persuasion to them, which I admire and want to investigate further. I am really looking forward to reading and following Keith Bradsher over the course of the semester.
