James P. Rubin, a former assistant secretary of state hired by Bloomberg News just 10 months ago to help lead its new opinion-writing section, has left his job after a rocky start, reports Jeremy Peters and Michael Barbaro of the New York Times.
“Mr. Rubin could not immediately be reached for comment. His last day with Bloomberg was Monday. An email to his Bloomberg account on Tuesday afternoon was returned with the automated message ‘This account is no longer in use.’
“Those who worked with him said that Mr. Rubin, who had no former journalistic experience, struggled to fit into a newsroom culture and at times clashed with his colleagues.
