Bloomberg News will report on Michael Bloomberg’s 2020 presidential campaign — though will not investigate the candidate or his Democratic rivals
Bloomberg’s words and actions while he was mayor, the newsroom did not initiate investigations on him, a policy the global media company — which employs roughly 2,700 journalists and analysts — will continue as he runs for president and will also extend to the rest of the Democratic field.
For now, the editor said, reporters will “continue to investigate the Trump administration, as the government of the day,” a policy that will be reassessed if Bloomberg becomes the Democratic nominee. “We will suspend the Board, so there will be no unsigned editorials,” Micklethwait wrote. “Our columnists, who produce the majority of Bloomberg Opinion’s content, will continue to speak for themselves, and we will continue to take some op-ed articles from outsiders .”
