Atlanta, GA—April 12, 2021—Black tech news and insights platform The Plug announced today its deep reporting and examination of the Black innovation economy is now available on the Bloomberg Terminal. The move is among the first Black business news publications available on the Bloomberg Terminal reaching its global network of business, government and economic decision-makers.
“We’re beyond thrilled to have our journalism and research documenting the trends of Black innovation available to Bloomberg Terminal subscribers who are looking for in-depth reporting and research to help them think inclusively about the state of business,” said Sherrell Dorsey, founder and CEO of The Plug, a company Dorsey founded in 2016 as a daily newsletter. “This new partnership and availability of our content marks a monumental shift in how Black tech movements and accompanying research is shaping and influencing business and the future of work at large.”
“We’re excited to include content from The Plug focused on Black founders and innovators on the Bloomberg Terminal,” said Ted Merz, Global Head of News Product at Bloomberg. “The coverage of key insights within technology, research, start-ups and venture capital will give our clients unique perspectives into some of the most innovative sectors of our economy.”
Since launching its original reporting platform in 2018, The Plug’s reporting and data insights have been seen in The Information, Fortune, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and other notable publications.
