Bloomberg developed and built his own computerized  terminal system to provide real-time  finance market data, financial calculations and other financial analytics to different firms. The Market financial master terminal, later called the Bloomberg Terminal, was released to market in December 1982.Merrill Lynch was the first customer, purchasing  total 20 terminals and a 30% equity stake in the company for $30 million in exchange for a five-year restriction on marketing the terminal to Merrill Lynch's competitors.

In 1984 Merrill Lynch released IMS from this restriction. The company renamed itself Bloomberg L.P. (limited partnership) In 1986.Bloomberg launched Bloomberg Business News, later Bloomberg News, in 1990, with Matthew Winkler as editor-in-chief.Bloomberg.com was first established on September 29, 1993, as a financial portal with information on markets, currency conversion, news and events, and Bloomberg Terminal subscriptions.

Bloomberg L.P. has remained a private company since its founding; the majority of which is owned by billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

All subscribers of the Bloomberg Professional service and the Bloomberg Terminal also receive Bloomberg Markets as part of their subscription. Newsstand sales averaged 6,154 in 2010.

History of Bloomberg Markets Magazine

Bloomberg Markets was launched in July 1992 as "Bloomberg: A Magazine for Bloomberg Users" and was originally intended to be a guide for the Bloomberg Professional service. Although every issue included instructions for navigating terminal functions, content also included articles about financial markets aimed at portfolio managers, corporate executives, brokers, bankers and securities traders. William Inman served as Bloomberg Markets founding editor.

In 1999, the magazine became part of Bloomberg News and Ronald Henkoff became editor. Prior to joining Bloomberg Markets, Henkoff worked as a reporter and editor at Newsweek and Fortune. Henkoff was tapped by Bloomberg News chief Matt Winkler to bolster the magazine's feature writing, which had not been a focus of the publication. In 2000, the magazine's name was changed to Bloomberg Markets and became available on newsstands.

Bloomberg  journalism

Bloomberg News was known for having strong culture, and hardworking employees who left the news service for other media companies typically were not hired back again. Those Business journalists who joined the company like Bloomberg were trained to write stories in a new manner based on the financial stylebook, The Bloomberg View: A Guide for Reporters and Editors . This book, which has been updated many times, explained to reporters how to cover specific  financial stories, such as company earnings and the daily stock market performance. Basic Bloomberg News stories were known for their four-paragraph lead structure, which included the “nut” paragraph (the paragraph that explained the rationale for the story; usually but not necessarily the third paragraph) and a quote, often in the fourth paragraph.
