- Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait set out the news organization's coverage guidelines after its owner, Michael Bloomberg, announced he was running in the 2020 presidential election.
- Micklethwait wrote that the outlet will avoid investigating Bloomberg's personal life and finances while he is campaigning, and would extend the same courtesy to the other Democratic candidates.
- The outlet will also apparently stop publishing unsigned Bloomberg Opinion editorials, as they are shaped by the views of Bloomberg News as an institution, and now-candidate Bloomberg's personal positions.
- The policy is a continuation of the outlet's current stance but may present a concerning imbalance that could see stories focused on President Donald Trump emphasized over other 2020 hopefuls.
