I also learned the importance of establishing the scene. If you don’t give your viewers a sense of place, they won’t be able to fully understand your story.” Wittman, a junior from Novi, Mich., and 10 other students participated in a three-day workshop from Oct. 5 to 7 led by Frazier.

  • Global Business and Financial Journalism Education Initiative Advancing Business and Financial Journalism Around the World
    Bloomberg Global Business and Financial Journalism Education Initiative Advancing Business and Financial Journalism Around the World ADV ANCINGBUSINESS A NDFIN ANCIALJOURN ALISMAROUND THE WORLD 1 INTRODUCTION Information has the power to transform economies. From reliable data to accurate reporting, access to information plays a critical role in promoting transparency and accountability — ultimately helping to advance markets, inspire new investment and encourage economic development. It was based on these beliefs that Bloomberg was founded over 35 years ago. Global customers rely on us to deliver accurate, real-time business and market-moving information that helps them make critical financial decisions. Timely and accurate reporting of business and financial matters play a critical role in advancing efficient markets and is a key driver in supporting economic and social growth. With this in mind, Mike Bloomberg and Matt Winkler created Bloomberg News in 1990. One of the world’s leading financial news organizations today, Bloomberg News has over 2,700 journalists and analysts producing roughly 5,000 stories a day from more than 120 countries. More than 330,000 Terminal subscribers, who are among the most influential people in business and finance in the world, have access to the market-moving stories from Bloomberg News. The Corporate Philanthropy team in partnership with Bloomberg News created the company’s Bloomberg Global Business and Financial Journalism Education Initiative with the aim of advancing business journalism worldwide and providing career opportunities in journalism for students and journalists from diverse backgrounds. Working in partnership with philanthropic organizations and academic institutions, the program supports a wide range of global initiatives centered on reporting about the world’s financial markets and economies.
