For the thousands of current and former Bloomberg News reporters and editors, the “autopsy” is a word often reviled for what it means.
For Bloomberg editor in chief Matthew WInkler, the exercise was a way to keep reporters and editors on their toes. But to many of the rank and file, the exercise was futile. Their reasoning was that sometimes business desk editors at papers like the Times pick up wire copy for reasons having nothing to do with the content of the story.
Now, those autopsies are gone, according to staff members. At the Monday announcement of the naming of new chief content officer Norman Pearlstine, the autopsy was killed.
In addition, we’re hearing that the numerous updates that many Bloomberg stories received will be dramatically reduced. Now, major stories will have no more than three updates.
Previously, it was common for major stories to have as many as six or seven updates within a 12-hour span.
