Bloomberg Government

Bloomberg Government launched in 2011 as a comprehensive solution to eliminate multiple government information resources. According to The New York Times, the service was developed to provide news and information about politics, along with the less "glamorous" aspects of government reporting, including legislative and regulatory coverage.

The first stages of what is now Bloomberg Government began in 2009, when a team led by Chris Walters and Don Baptiste spent most of the year researching to find a solution to match market needs, and after two years of market sizing, the product was launched. Bloomberg Government is now used by Congressional offices, trade associations, federal contractors, lobbyists, and corporate government-affairs professionals.

On April 6, 2017, Bloomberg L.P. announced that Bloomberg Government will become part of Bloomberg BNA.

Bloomberg Government is a digital tool focused on three types of users: government-affairs professionals, congressional staff, and federal contractors.

Government affairs and Congressional staff

Bloomberg Government provides clients in Congress, corporate government affairs, trade associations, and lobbying detailed analytics that enhance decision-making. The company’s government-affairs service includes lobbying performance analytics, access to more than 35,000 aggregated news sources, in-depth legislative tracking, regulation monitoring, directories of federal agencies, professionals and congressional staff, tools to track federal spending, and access to exclusive events.
