The Company

Few organizations can keep up with the fast-paced, 24/7 nature of today's media coverage; even fewer can claim to have helped shape it. Bloomberg has long been a leading source of data and news and presents one of the most challenging environments in financial journalism. Bloomberg offers a unique opportunity to produce real-time stories that shape the markets and our world.

The successful applicant should have a proven ability to source within Congress and the White House, and be knowledgeable about the economy, financial markets and business. Applicants should have the ability to produce breaking news stories under real-time deadline pressure in a team environment, even as they regularly develop sophisticated, exclusive enterprise pieces. A minimum of three to five years of business journalism experience is preferred.

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
  • Experience working in a real-time news environment
  • Minimum of three to five years of business journalism experience is preferred
