Burton-Taylor Report Declares “Winner” Between Bloomberg and Reuters Fixed Income News Services
Burton-Taylor study reveals significant differences in regional
output, focus and fixed income instrument coverage between the
financial news giants
Burton-Taylor International Consulting LLC, a leading
market research, strategy and business consulting organization,
today announced the publication of the first ever detailed
comparison and analysis of English language fixed income news from
Bloomberg
and
Reuters. The two news organizations, who
together command a 61% share of global financial information spend,
deliver more than 3,000 individual headlines per day to their fixed
income users. Knowing which service will best suit their fixed
income needs is difficult for financial news users to determine.
This Burton-Taylor research makes it easier.
The study reveals that, although overall average daily debt news
volumes are similar, Bloomberg News production emphasis is on
government debt first, followed by corporate and emerging market
debt while Reuters News weights emerging market debt first, followed
by government and corporate debt instruments.
Fixed income news philosophies differ as well, as greater than 50%
of Bloomberg debt news items are headline-only “alerts”, while
alerts account for only about 35% of Reuters daily debt news output.
Beyond volume, the report’s qualitative analysis suggests that
Bloomberg News more often prioritize debt related stories within
their “TOP” News categories then do Reuters News. Additionally, the
research indicates that Bloomberg coding for fixed income relevant
news may be slightly tighter and produce more focused search results
than Reuters.
“After the release last year of our Bloomberg v Reuters news study
which focused on all international news from the two providers, our
clients asked that we deliver a report looking only at the critical
and high risk area of fixed income,” says
Douglas B Taylor,
Managing Partner of Burton-Taylor. “In response to these requests,
we’re proud to have brought to our global fixed income report the
same quality, depth and insight that our clients appreciated in last
year’s international news report.”
“In this report, however, we’ve changed our publication model, as we
now offer a compact report targeted to meet the needs of fixed
income news users as well as a robust news production oriented
report geared toward meeting the needs of news producers,” Taylor
adds. “Our hope is that the asset managers, hedge funds and trading
operations, who risk so much on the quality of their decision making
information, will now be more confidently equipped to choose the
asset backed, municipal bond, derivatives or other fixed income
instrument news source which gives them the best chance at success.
At the same time, we hope our analysis helps competing news
organizations more clearly understand the reporting priorities and
tendencies of their rivals and equips them to improve their overall
debt product quality and growth opportunities within the industry.”
The 65 page Burton-Taylor report “Bloomberg v Reuters News -
Analysis of Fixed Income Services, April 2010” contains 24 pages of
detailed charts comparing daily news output across agencies, asset
backed, corporate/eurobonds, covered bonds, derivatives, emerging
markets, government debt, mortgage backed and municipal bonds within
Canada, China, Europe, India, Japan, Latin America, Middle East,
Russia, United Kingdom and the United States. It also compares and
contrasts how the two organizations reported and displayed the same
events on the same day.

Offuscato Il Modello Bloomberg
Giornalismo, scoop e una rete di dati
funzionano se vangono mantenuti separati
Il sogno di Michael Bloomberg è rosa ed è una celebrità in tutti i
continenti. Un sogno scosso da uno scandalo che proprio per questo
motivo crediamo stia irritando il sindaco di New York assai più del
previsto. Avvicinare il suo nome a pratiche giornalistiche a dir poco
eterodosse rischia di allontanarlo dall'ambito frutto che siede in un
cubo nero e luccicante sulla sponda del Tamigi: il Financial Times.
