Doesn't ANYONE notice the problem with this sentence?
“We want to be the world’s most influential news organization,” says Mr. Lack, who oversees Bloomberg’s television, radio and dot-com endeavors.
The most influential? If there was ever a more honest statement. Why should news be influential and not informational?
You aim for influence in the news because politics and business are at your mercy? I'm ok with that, but don't call yourself a "news" organization.
News is as cheap as love.
- jakarta 17y agoYeah, but in order to get that quality information typically you need to be one of the higher regarded 'brand' news organizations. The journalists at the WSJ and the NYTimes are probably going to have better sources than those at Bloomberg and in turn break better stories... making them more "informational".
- jamesbressi 17y agoI understand your logic, but starting with the Drudge report in 1998 -- when they were the first to break the Monica and Clinton scandal -- it looks like the flowered garden is no longer and anyone can break a story. I don't believe it is "getting quality information". No, it is "controlling information."
