James Ledbetter, the editor of The Big Money site, likes the hiring of former Fortune managing editor Eric Pooley and New York magazine editorial director Hugo Lindgren to help oversee the content in Bloomberg’s BusinessWeek.
“That doesn’t mean, though, that BW‘s print product is irrelevant. It may not be clear to those outside the Bloomberg world just how vast that empire is; Bloomberg produces mountains and mountains of stories and data every day, the majority of which go unseen by anyone but a few thousand traders at their screens. And it’s not just wire stories: There are features, investigative stories, columns (Pooley has been writing a monthly one), even book reviews and cultural pieces. A few talented editors may be able to shape that material — which they get for free — into a compelling magazine.
