Money TalksMădălina Ciobanu of Journalism.co.uk writes about Bloomberg’s first Facebook group, a personal finance-focused site called “Money Talks.”

Ciobanu writes, “So she came up with the idea of creating Money Talks, a Facebook community she now oversees. Since April, it has grown organically to 1,859 members (at the time of writing), from people who work in finance to students and young professionals all around the world.

“‘We also put call outs about the group at the bottom of our stories, telling people that they can join the community to discuss more about personal finance issues,’ Hess told Journalism.co.uk.
