Shira Stein – Journalist

I am a reporter with Bloomberg Law covering the federal public health response to the Covid-19 pandemic, including the actions of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the White House.

I am focused on looking at the management and purchase of personal protective equipment, new HHS policies, and how aid money is being distributed. Normally, I cover the HHS, including how it interacts with the White House and Capitol Hill.

I am passionate about making a career in journalism accessible for those from marginalized backgrounds and spend my free time on initiatives that work toward that goal.

I’m a member of the Association of Health Care Journalists, the Investigative Reporters and Editors, and the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing.
