History
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 currently 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.
