The Role: 

Bloomberg is looking for a reporter in Los Angeles to cover the entertainment business as it undergoes the greatest upheaval since the dawn of TV. From the storied studio lots to social media hype houses and podcasting studios, businesses are spending billions of dollars to reach customers on their personal devices wherever they are in the world. We want someone who can work a room, get the most out of a power lunch and look beyond the red-carpet glitz to uncover what’s really happening at some of the largest and most powerful companies in the world are planning.

The ideal candidate will have experience developing sources at tough-to-penetrate companies and maintains an active network of contacts to mine for tips.
