Bloomberg launching Middle East website

Bloomberg Media is launching a Middle East edition of its news website and opening a studio in Dubai to provide live video content for the region, reports Jasper Jackson of The Guardian.

Jackson writes, “The new investment is part of a global expansion by the media arm of the financial markets information provider which saw the launch of a European edition of Bloomberg a year ago and a version for Asia last November.

“Bloomberg’s new video operation, which also includes a dedicated production crew, will begin broadcasting from next month with regular reports from Abu Dhabi and a new four-day-a-week show, Bloomberg Markets: Middle East, broadcast at 8am local time.

“The Middle East site will have a digital editor, who will curate content from its 80-strong team covering the Middle East and from across the rest of Bloomberg. The company will also be linking up with local group Abu Dhabi Global Market to run a local version of its Bloomberg Markets Most Influential conference.”
