Reed, former BW London bureau chief, leaves Bloomberg

TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE

Stanley Reed has left Bloomberg after 22 years at BusinessWeek and Bloomberg.

He was London bureau chief of BusinessWeek for 13 years and then, after Bloomberg purchased BusinessWeek in 2009, took on the role of London-based reporter-at-large, a senior writer position, at Bloomberg News, covering energy, the Middle East, and, occasionally, British politics and business.

Last year he co-authored a book on BP called “In Too Deep” for Bloomberg Press/Wiley.

After transferring to Bloomberg News, he remained a prolific contributor to Bloomberg Businessweek, writing more than 20 stories, including a recent cover on the fall of Libya’s Muammar Al-Qaddafi.

He commented: “Managing the transition from a wide-ranging correspondent’s job to a news wire is challenging for both the journalist and the news organization.”
