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 is the leading global provider of financial data, news and analytics. Bloomberg provides real-time and archived financial and market data, pricing, trading, news and communications tools to corporations, news organizations, financial and legal professionals and individuals around the world.

Bloomberg is creating a new web-based information product that will report on, analyze and quantify the impact of government actions on business and industry. It will bring the same unparalleled level of fact-based, objective reporting and analysis to policymaking as it has provided to the financial community for the past 27 years.

The Role

Bloomberg is seeking experienced taxation reporters in its Washington, DC office. These reporters will cover taxation policy from the legislative, regulatory and business perspectives, ranging from Capitol Hill to federal agencies. They will focus on reporting and analyzing the business implications of government actions. The successful applicant should have the ability to source within Congress and the White House as well as in federal agencies. The applicant should also 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 and analytic pieces.
