Report Compares Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters FI News

Abstract

A comparative analysis of fixed income news coverage from Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters conducted by Burton-Taylor International Consulting reveals that while the two vendors deliver roughly the same number of fixed income news items per day, they differ in focus by region and asset class coverage. Around half of Bloomberg's news items were headline-only "alerts", while alerts comprised only about one-third of Thomson Reuters' coverage. The report also compares the top stories from each news service at the same moment in time, broken down by region and topic, to see how many debt-related stories would be prioritized as a top story by each vendor.
