In the past I have found Bloomberg has published exceptionally high quality journalism pieces, specifically those published in their magazine Bloomberg Markets. This year I have become worried by the internal news-terminal spying scandal and increasingly political opinion pieces they publish. The alternative, WSJ, is overall fairly lacking (though credit to some really good investigative work over there too.)

Bloomberg News is in an interesting position that other news companies would never get in to. In the article it mentions Bloomberg is already having trouble in China due to previous articles they wrote and "sales of its financial terminals to state enterprises have slowed." Bloomberg has a near monopoly status on this aggregated financial information. If a company, public or private, chooses not to buy them they are put at a competitive disadvantage (assuming its not being used to spy on them; as private citizens we face this same challenge with some of the online services we use.)
