Bloomberg Businessweek

Bloomberg Businessweek first appeared on newsstands in September 1929, just weeks before the Wall Street crash that triggered the Great Depression. Founded by Malcolm Muir, a former head of McGraw-Hill's trade magazine division, the publication started as a scrappy trade weekly covering finance, industry, and commerce. Over the decades, it evolved into one of the most respected business magazines globally, known for its sharp analysis, investigative journalism, and distinctive cover art.

In 2009, Bloomberg L.P. acquired the magazine from McGraw-Hill, triggering a comprehensive redesign and editorial overhaul. The publication integrated deeply into Bloomberg's financial data and media ecosystem, leveraging the company's vast resources. In June 2024, Bloomberg Businessweek made a landmark shift from a weekly to a monthly format, allowing for deeper, feature-driven journalism. Despite the reduced frequency, the magazine retains its reputation for incisive coverage of global business, economics, and technology, with a readership that includes executives, policymakers, and investors worldwide.
