A Twitterer late yesterday said the new owners of Business Week have told CNBC's Money Honey 'see ya later.'
"Bartiromo's FaceTime column is being killed ... after the Bloomberg acquisition closes," said a post from Monica Roman Gagnier. (Google finds a Monica Gagnier who is a senior copy editor at BusinessWeek.com.)
The FaceTime column has been the MH's opportunity to schmooze with CEOs and get on a first name basis with corporate execs, crossing the line between reporter and source. If you watch Bartiromo on the air, she's chummy with the business leaders, sympathetic and hardly aggressive in questioning them.
I'm not surprised that a hard, solid, serious operation like Bloomberg would show her the spike.
