1.
Syndication Control Room – inside the control
room is where the action behind the scenes happens. Producer, director and
technical director control camera angle, commercial break, and lights so that
every second of the show is perfect.
2.
Control Room –in the control room those that work there are working non stop while the show is on. They talk to each other in order to fix what might go wrong or make the good coverage even better.
3.
Bloomberg’s Values – Mr. Valenti told us that
the main goal of the company is to provide information to their audience as
well as to the public in general
4.
No Google Research – one of the key factors for
the success of the company is that the workers to not made their research
relying on search engines. Bloomberg has many field reporters that provide
information quickly. Also an enormous database stores all the information that
Bloomberg has.
5.
Executive Producer of Charlie Rose’s Show – we
had to chance to have a quick talk with the Executive Producer of Charlie
Rose’s Show and she gave us an essential tip when entering into a job, find a
mentor when you get into the field so that you can learn and meet people that
can help you in the future.
6.
Meeting Drew Beebe – we also met Drew Beebe, a
producer and shot editor. He gave us the 5 principles of shooting like an
editor, which was very helpful for my new media major colleagues. Movement,
duration (10 seconds), variety, use of tripod, and audio are the 5 principles
that one must use in order to have the perfect shoot of a scene.
7.
Meeting Christine – later in our tour we met
Christine, who is a free lancer meaning that she can do other things like going
on a tour and when she gets back she will have her sit in the building. She
gave us a few tips on editing for example, find the audio first so that it
makes easier to make any changes.
8.
BusinessWeek Magazine – we could see how the
editors of the BusinessWeek Magazine put the pages together. They put all the
content in the wall and they start to move the pages around in order to make
the perfect magazine for the week with the most important news of the business
world.
9.
Informal Work Environment – I had the feeling
that in Bloomberg the work environment is more informal. People were not all in
suit and tie, they were more relax, business casual dressing style. There is an
enjoyable food courts were the workers can take a break and have a quick talk
with co-workers and relax a little bit.

Valenti Tips – throughout the tour Mr. Valenti was sharing with us his
experience. He told us that if you do something you love, you would not stop
doing it and do it with more pleasure. He also told us that in Bloomberg one
could switch jobs, but first prove that he can do the work. He told us that in
order to be successful one must know every platform for editing due to the
rapid change of technology. For instance, you cannot avoid one platform because
you think it is too difficult to work with.
Those were the top 10 moments of the tour we made to
Bloomberg. However, there were many other things that were really interesting.
For example, the layout of the website and the TV shows is made by the graphic design
team that consists of many people working non-stop in order to improve the design.
It was an amazing experience that I witness, I am happy that I went there; even
though it brought more confusion to my head on what path I want to follow after
graduation but it is a good confusion, it gave me more options.
