Governing’s Ryan Holeywell on finding national issues with local consequences
Ryan Holeywell is a staff writer for Governing magazine, a publication that covers state and local governments nationwide.
The George Washington University graduate has covered the Troubled Asset Relief Program extensively, and in a BailoutSleuth.com article he revealed that nearly 10 percent of all banks receiving funding were later cited by federal regulators for various violations. His stories examined the financial workings of these banks from a business perspective, like stock transactions, SEC filings, and income and revenue numbers, and how this affects the taxpayer.
Holeywell was attended the Society of American Business Editors and Writers’ Covering Public Pensions Seminar in June. He shares his advice for covering local issues for a national audience in the video below.
