Where they are now (2025–2026)
Talking Biz News reported that Flitter joined Bloomberg News as an equality reporter in January 2025 after seven years at The New York Times.
The Times story was cited the next day in the April 23, 2020 letter from Senator Elizabeth Warren and Nydia Velázquez, chair of the House Small Business Committee, to the SBA and Treasury inspectors general; the San Francisco Fed's research brief on PPP lending in the Twelfth District also cites the story (see the Stacy Cowley profile).
