Quote from an unnamed spokesman (which, btw, is totally verboten at Bloomberg) about Bloomberg News versus the other wires:
“We don’t think about Dow Jones or Reuters or the A.P. in anywhere near the same kind of way, or as carrying the same type of magnitude. If I have a choice between giving an interview to Bloomberg or someone else, I never think twice about it.”My nine years at Bloomberg were an amazing experience -- and even more amazing when I realize that when I joined, the news service was only seven years old. Now:
Bloomberg News’s 2,300-person staff is larger than the combined editorial operations of the Times and The Washington Post, or that included among its 135 bureaus are 30 in the Asia-Pacific region alone.It's an interesting article (and enjoyable for me, because when I tell people in Vermont I worked for Bloomberg News, I usually get blank stares. AP owns the papers up here, it seems) for the questions about the news industry and Bloomberg's business model.
