Bloomberg Disowns Reports Of Acquisition Plans For Dow Jones And Washington Post

Bloomberg L.P. has no interest in acquiring either Dow Jones or the Washington Post, a Bloomberg L.P. spokesman tweeted.
Bloomberg owner Michael Bloomberg retweeted spokesman Ty Trippet's message denying acquisition conversations with anyone or either organization, Reuters reports.
Reportedly Bloomberg was interested in acquiring either Wall Street Journal's parent company Dow Jones from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp NWSA or the Washington Post from Amazon.com Inc's AMZN Jeff Bezos.
A spokesperson for the Washington Post, which Bezos snapped in 2013, said it was not for sale.
Antitrust experts agreed that the merger of Bloomberg and Dow Jones business news divisions would draw the scrutiny of U.S. regulators.
Thomson Reuters Corp owned Reuters competes with Dow Jones and Bloomberg News.
Price Action: NWSA shares closed higher by 2.81% at $18.31 on Monday.
