Mav's specialty topics

regulation & compliance insurtech & AI market shifts & pricing executive moves

Mav Rodriguez is the pen name of a freelance news writer at Key Media, where she reports on insurance, mortgage, finance, and business developments.

Her coverage spans executive moves, market shifts, regulatory developments, industry reports, and company announcements across global financial services. She brings a strong background in research, editorial judgment, and SEO, producing clear and useful stories for specialist audiences.

Before focusing on trade journalism, Mav wrote across news and culture, guided by a longstanding interest in helping readers understand the issues that affect them. That focus on informing readers remains central to her work.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“Good insurance journalism is about showing how individual developments fit into the bigger shifts happening across the market. That requires judgment—not just getting the facts right, but also knowing when a detail is significant and when it is simply noise. The goal is to help readers understand what is changing and, more importantly, what deserves their attention”

Awards and recognition

  • Loyola Schools Awards for the Arts in Nonfiction
  • Raul Locsin Award for Student Journalism
