New York Probes Bloomberg Reporters’ Access to Information

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s office is looking into how much access Bloomberg LP news reporters may have had to information about the media and technology company’s customers, said people familiar with the inquiries. Officials in the New York Attorney General’s investor protection unit in recent weeks have queried Bloomberg about reporters’ knowledge of terminal subscribers’ activities, said the people. The Attorney General’s office has not opened a formal investigation into the Bloomberg practices, said one of the people familiar with the probe. A Bloomberg spokesman had no comment on any interaction with the Attorney General’s office. Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal, competes with Bloomberg in financial news.
