Washington Post writer to visit

John Berry, who has covered the economy and the Federal Reserve for the Washington Post since 1978, will serve as this semester’s business writer-in-residence at the university.

During a week-long residency, Oct 9-13, Berry will speak to journalism and business classes, consult with individual students and faculty and talk with Madison business and media professionals.

Berry’s stories are carried by the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post News Service and are widely used in the United States and abroad. He is a frequent contributor to the International Herald-Tribune, and his work has appeared in Fortune, Financier and Central Banking.

Berry’s residency is part of the ongoing Business Writer-in-Residence program, sponsored by the School of Business, School of Journalism and Mass Communication and University Communications, with support from the UW Foundation.
