发帖数: 3205 | 1 Reporters at Bloomberg News were trained to use a function on the company’s
financial data terminals that allowed them to view subscribers’ contact
information and, in some cases, monitor login activity in order to advance
news coverage, more than half a dozen former employees said.
More than 315,000 Bloomberg subscribers worldwide use the terminals for
instant market news, trading information and communication. Reporters at
Bloomberg News, a separate division from the terminal business, were
nonetheless told to use the terminals to get an edge in the competitive
world of financial journalism where every second counts, according to these
people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the company’s
strict nondisclosure agreements.
The company acknowledged that at least one reporter had gained access to
information on Goldman Sachs after the bank complained to the company last
month. On Sunday, Ty Trippet, a Bloomberg spokesman, said that “reporters
would not have been trained to improperly use any client data.” |
