Safdar, Trachtenberg and Mullin report, “Prior to the recent protests, there had already been some tension at Bloomberg over the perception that Mr. Micklethwait, who was named editor in chief in 2015, has played down coverage of nonbusiness topics, according to people familiar with newsroom discussions.
