Bull, former Reuters reporter, hired to be Bloomberg editor

Alister Bull, who covered the Federal Reserve for Reuters before leaving last year, has been hired as an editor at Bloomberg News on the Fed team.

He is based in Washington and started work on Wednesday.

Bull left Reuters at the end of 2013 after taking a buyout offer from the company. Along with the Federal Reserve, Bull covered the White House and the Treasury and the Iraq War. He has a deep knowledge of macroeconomic policy.

Bull previously reported for Reuters from Germany, South Africa, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Iraq and had been with the news organization since April 1987.

In this February 2011 press conference about Egypt, President Obama called on Bull first.
