Thomson Reuters has appointed Tom Freke as restructuring correspondent.

In his new position, Freke, formerly editor of Loan Radar, will write about companies in financial difficulty, as a result of the credit crunch.

Freke told Journalism.co.uk that 'explaining the complexities of issues to a general audience' will probably be his biggest challenge.

He advised aspiring financial journalists to 'tread carefully' at the beginning of their careers.
