Reuters ahead on Obama’s reform bill

Reuters was first with all the major news as the Obama administration’s financial regulation reform bill finally cleared Congress last week, and attention turned to putting the legislation into effect. Reuters beat Bloomberg and Dow Jones to report key developments including news that support for the bill was big enough for it to clear procedural hurdles and to win final approval in the Senate. Reuters was also ahead when White House officials began talking about candidates to run the powerful new consumer protection agency included in the reform.
