Bloomberg today announced the expansion of the news organization\u2019s New Voices initiative to Sydney, Mumbai, Dubai and San Francisco in 2019, following on the success of similar launches this year in New York, London, Toronto, and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

The program, which is funded by Bloomberg, provides one-on-one media training for top women executives in finance and business \u2014 assisted by local trainers from Burson Cohn & Wolfe \u2014 with the goal of getting the women TV-ready for interviews on Bloomberg TV and other outside outlets.<\/p>\n

At The Conference Board\u2019s West Coast Diversity & Inclusion Conference in San Francisco on December 10, Bloomberg News Senior Executive Editor for Diversity, Talent, Standards and Training Laura Zelenko, who is spearheading the New Voices initiative, spoke about limiting bias in the newsroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiversity both internally and externally, from who reports, writes and edits the stories to the outside sources we choose to interview and bring on Bloomberg TV and Bloomberg Radio, is imperative to staying competitive today, for making sure we\u2019re finding the right, most important stories to tell, and for ensuring what we report and write is always accurate, fair and balanced,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a glimpse of the progress Bloomberg News is making in amplifying women\u2019s voices across platforms:<\/p>\n
