Jim Romenesko is reporting that the Associated Press, Bloomberg News, Reuters and Dow Jones Newswires are all taking their staffers out of the U.S. Treasury Department newsroom, and he has an email from a Bloomberg News editor about it.
The editor, Chris Wellisz, wrote:
Folks, the news you have all been waiting for. We no longer need to staff the Treasury press room, effective immediately. Almost all press releases will be distributed by email.
** The exceptions: TICS, monthly budget statement, semiannual FX report, the budget green book, quarterly refunding, and FSOC annual report. We will send folks over to cover those releases as needed.
* press room stays open, and we keep our equipment.
* Treasury will continue to do their weekly off record briefing. They will also make officials available from time to time and give us advance notice.
Free at last!
