WASHINGTON, Oct 01, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- WPO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- --Additional Content Sharing, Jointly Branded Business Pages Add Value for News Consumers, Bloomberg Subscribers

The Washington Post and Bloomberg will launch a global news service, The Washington Post News Service with Bloomberg News, which will offer a selection of content from The Post and BLOOMBERG NEWS(R) stories to newspapers, Web sites and other subscribers daily.

The Post, the leading source of news about Washington, and Bloomberg, the world's most influential financial news organization, will also produce a co-branded Web-based business news page on washingtonpost.com, incorporating content from the Post and from the BLOOMBERG.COM(R) Web site.

In addition, the Post's entire news content, including breaking-news alerts, will be available in real time as part of the BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL(R) service, which is the world's leading source of data, news and analytics with more than 300,000 users.

"Professionals worldwide rely on Bloomberg News for accurate and timely perspective, while Washington's decision-makers depend on The Post's thorough reporting on politics and policy. As politics and economics converge on a global scale, this association will create the go-to source for news and analysis of today's critical issues," said Matthew Winkler, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Bloomberg News.

"This is a formidable collaboration," said Marcus Brauchli, executive editor of The Washington Post. "It brings together The Post's vast expertise on politics and policy news in Washington with Bloomberg's highly regarded global financial, economic and political news franchise. It also brings together The Post's prize-winning feature writers and columnists with Bloomberg's team of top-notch journalistic talent."

"Bloomberg's incredible geographic reach and wide range of coverage topics, from business to entertainment to culture and the arts, provides a perfect complement to The Post's content for subscribers seeking a smart, high-end, comprehensive news service," Brauchli said.

The Washington Post News Service with Bloomberg News will be available starting January 1, 2010 to news organizations around the world. With 120 stories available daily, the service will offer an expansive selection of news across topics to subscribers along with photos, graphics and other story elements.
