Paul Kedrosky, founder of the popular blog Infectious Greed, has joined Bloomberg as a contributor across the company’s various properties, including Bloomberg.com.
He was previously an analyst for CNBC and contributor for TheStreet.com but will now be commenting exclusively for Bloomberg, although he will continue to operate Infectious Greed.
Kedrosky writes, “Further, it is a multi-platform deal, across television (which Bloomberg is rethinking in some creative and interesting ways), radio, the web, and Bloomberg’s terminal product. The days when financial information was just about television (or print, or radio), are long over, and so, in the age of Google/Twitter/blogs/etc. being multiplatform is everything.
“Bloomberg and I see things in similar ways: we love data, visuals, and synthesizing across economics, markets, sports, science, technology and current affairs. And meteorology. It also helps that Bloomberg doesn’t shout that much, that politics bores them almost as much as it bores me, and that I’ll keep right on doing my usual eclectic stuff, including speaking, this damn book project thing, investing in early-stage private companies and so on.”
