Randy Woods, an economic policy editor in Washington at Bloomberg News, left the news organization last week.

In an email to his colleagues, Woods wrote, “I just wanted to say thanks once again for all your help in the last couple of years. It was great working with all of you, and I’ll miss the team a lot.”
