Brian Stelter and Bill Carter of the New York Times have a story Monday about the changing nature of network news and mention that ABC News and Bloomberg Television have considered jointly hiring journalists.

Stelter and Carter write, “In recent months, a handful of ABC News reporters has appeared on the business channel Bloomberg, and the two organizations have tried to jointly hire at least one person, according to two staff members who asked not to be named because they were not authorized by their employers to speak.
