Bloomberg switches off comments in website redesign


Bloomberg.com

The Bloomberg website has taken out the comments bit, so individuals would have to have their say through social media instead. 

  • Bloomberg has removed the option to comment on its stories after a relaunch of its flagship business website.
  • A spokeswoman for Bloomberg declined to comment on the removal of comments, but it is understood the company believes the conversation about its content is better served on social media rather than on its own platform. 
  • It is understood the impact of switching off comments will be monitored to see if it should be made policy. 
  • Bloomberg’s new site aims to bring together content from the media company’s digital, print, television, radio and live event operations
  • It’s faster, smarter, and frankly bigger than anything we’ve done before – and it’s uniquely digital, built for a global web audience, and designed to deliver the right news at the right time,” Topolsky said. 
This website taking out the comments section is a way of becoming popular on social media so if people have a say then they can find the site on Twitter or Facebook.
