News
Overview
Bloomberg News writes and delivers the news that gives our clients the advantage. Our reporters and editors produce more than 5,000 stories every day, for an audience of millions.
We write about money and markets in all forms—across print, web, mobile, radio and beyond. Through our internship opportunities, new journalists are thrust into the world of economies, companies, governments and markets—challenged to make contacts, develop expertise and deliver quality stories. In the process, you’ll learn by proximity and collaboration with some of the most experienced writers and editors.
This experience represents both a career-making moment and a "boot camp" of sorts, designed to help you and the company discover if we share the same goals. The principles that drive Bloomberg News—accuracy, precision, fairness, integrity and transparency—haven’t changed since our inception under Editor-in-Chief Matthew Winkler 20 years ago. We are who we are. With more than 1,800 journalists, we’re already one of the world’s largest newsgathering operations.
Who thrives here? Brilliant, relentless individuals who are dedicated to gaining market expertise. Professionals who respect the craft of fact-based business journalism.
