Paula Dwyer, an assistant managing editor for Bloomberg Businessweek, is taking a new job within the company at Bloomberg View, the commentary service being launched later this year.
A magazine spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday afternoon that Dwyer will be writing and editing for Bloomberg View.
Dwyer is a 26-year veteran of the magazine, having begun in 1985 as a beat reporter covering the Securities and Exchange Commission. From 1987 to 1991, she covered Congress, the Supreme Court, and presidential campaigns. In 1992, Dwyer joined the London bureau, and a year later became London bureau chief.
After four years in London, where Dwyer was part of a team of correspondents that won a prestigious Overseas Press Club award, she returned to the Washington bureau in 1997 as a financial/investigative writer. From that position, she covered various Independent Counsel investigations of the Clinton Administration, and she chronicled the rise of electronic stock trading and the globalization of markets.
In 1999, Dwyer was prompted to deputy bureau chief, a position she held for four years. In that post, she helped with overall management of what was once an 18-person bureau, assigned stories, and edited copy, as well as wrote articles herself.
In 2002, Dwyer took a 10-month leave of absence to co-author “Take on the Street” with former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt Jr. The book became a nation bestseller.
