A wave of mergers and acquisitions began transforming Europe’s corporate landscape in 1999, and The Wall Street Journal was in the forefront of covering those developments. Led by London-based Anita Raghavan, and aided by other correspondents in Europe and the U.S., the Journal broke story after story ahead of the competition. Ms. Raghavan and her colleagues consistently produced exclusive stories and well-written, well-researched background pieces that kept the paper’s readers ahead of the news in this important region of the business world.
