Melvin Backman’s Biography

I'm a junior reporter at Debtwire covering mid-market bankruptcies. Before that, I was an intern at the Wall Street Journal. I just graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill, where I wrote for the Daily Tar Heel. I've also interned at Reuters, the Tampa Bay Times and the Post & Courier in my hometown, Charleston, S.C.
