Particularly when it comes to its Washington political desk, Bloomberg News seems to be in an aggressive hiring mode. See the story in the New York Times here.
Among its most recent hires is Roger Simon, a former political writer for US News & World Report. The wire service has made some high-profile hires in Washington recently.

What I'd like to know, and which the NY Times article really didn't explain, is why. Is Bloomberg doing a lot better than other news orgs (and if so, why), or is it doing about the same, but looking to expand its footprint?
Mark,
I think Bloomberg is doing better than the other business wire services such as Reuters and Dow Jones right now because the data content of its service is prized by most traders. The wire service is an ancillary product sold along with the data in the box.
That said, Bloomberg seems to be more aggressive in covering hardcore business news at a time when others don't seem to be emphasizing it as much. And I think that helps it stand out.
