Two Bloomberg reporters leave organization

David Levitt

Two more Bloomberg News reporters have left the organization.

David Levitt, who covered commercial real estate for Bloomberg, left Monday after nearly 18 years at the company.

On Facebook, Levitt posted that he had “nothing definite lined up.”

Levitt holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Maryland and a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University. He’s been involved in the New Jersey chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.

Brian Louis, who is based in Chicago and was assigned to cover insurance after many years writing about market structure topics like options and futures, resigned last Thursday from the U.S. Finance team.

Louis plans to attend graduate school to study religion early next year.

He had been at Bloomberg for 12 years. Previously, Louis spent five years at the Winston-Salem Journal covering companies such as R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings Inc. and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc.

He also worked at TheStreet.com for three years as a reporter.
