Bloomberg scandal and media business
Bloomberg News journalists create some excellent work on topics that have nothing to do with financial markets, but their bread and butter is to be one more thing that makes the Bloomberg terminal something that financial professionals can’t afford not to have. The practice of letting journalists access information about when subscribers had logged in and what broad categories of data they accessed pits the two imperatives of Bloomberg’s strategy against each other.
On the one hand, it wants to do everything it can to ensure that its reporters are drumming up information that the competition isn’t. On the other, anything that discomfits the subscribers who are paying the bills could endanger the whole enterprise.

Content editor = product manager
An editor or writer who gets to file her copy into the system and forget about is an editor who is being alienated from the fruits of their labour. Editors need to help craft the way their content gets presented to their readers. They do need to have a seat at the same table as designers and “marketers”, and explain the way their content will be most valuable and then work with those other colleagues to help design, build and release the code that can bring that value to the reader.
