Bloomberg to produce political convention mag with ACBJ

Bloomberg News plans to produce a daily magazine at both political conventions this summer in conjunction with two newspapers from American City Business Journals.

Margaret Cashill of the Tampa Bay Business Journal writes, “Bloomberg plans to bring about 150 people to the RNC and plans to create a daily magazine, the Bloomberg Insider, to be published at both conventions.

“In concert with parent company American City Business Journals and sister publication the Charlotte Business Journal, TBBJ will be Bloomberg’s news partner on the publication.

“Politics are secondary to a future for Tampa Bay and for Florida, said Norm Pearlstine, co-chairman of Bloomberg Government and chief content officer of Bloomberg LP.

“Economic development is important to the region, the state and to the TBBJ, said Publisher Bridgette Mill.”
