The Company

Bloomberg offers a unique opportunity to produce real-time stories that shape the markets and our world.
The Role
Bloomberg News seeks a reporter in its Mexico City office to cover Mexican economics and politics.

They should also have the ability to develop contacts that lead to exclusive stories. Familiarity with the Bloomberg Terminal is a plus. Please submit CVs in English.
