Reuters analyzes JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon`s career and reputation as banking`s golden boy

Reuters scored an exclusive interview with Jamie Dimon that became the basis of a Special Report on the JPMorgan chief executive. The story, published on Feb 4, analyzed Dimons career, questioning his credentials as Washingtons banker of choice and discussing his future plans. It included interviews with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former President Bill Clinton, who said he believes Dimon could have a career in politics. The Special Report was widely cited on the Web, including in influential blogs on Business Insider, Huffington Post, the New York Times website and Fortunes website. Several commentators noted the tough approach that Reuters took in writing about the powerful banker, and how that contrasted with previous profiles by other organizations that were more flattering of Dimon. Finance blog DealBreaker said it was `perhaps the first ever profile to be somewhat critical of the JPMorgan CEO.
