Bloomberg Media Group started a large video push in early 2012 to become a “digital-first” newsroom, leveraging its television operations and a team of technologists to create a digital video desk that produces more than 200 videos a day.
Bloomberg plans to continue to add more video content because it attracts advertisers.
