An EpiPen pricing debacle, an unexpected FDA rejection, and a sticker-shock inspiring M&A deal led to wild moves in Mylan N.V., Portola Pharmaceuticals, and Medivation this week.
Today in FirstWord:
As the number of media outlets -- and reporters -- covering deals has risen, so the news flow has boomed, creating what at times feels like an information overload. Looking for an example?

Here, Jeff McCracken, Bloomberg's executive editor of deals, discusses the right and wrong ways to cover a fast-moving M&A story.
