A separate review also shed light on how Bloomberg journalists were able to use users' terminal information to inform their articles (and lurk on trader chatrooms). Reporters no longer have access to that information, according to the report.
Bloomberg may have issued a mea culpa for the Nazi article, but the New York Times reported they have no plans to alter the original report.
