Six years ago, Bloomberg News killed an investigation into the wealth of Communist Party elites in China. After the company opted not to run the article, according to NPR, the reporters working on the investigation were silenced — and so was the spouse of journalist, Bloomberg’s former Beijing correspondent, who is now employed by The New York Times.
NPR says Forsythe’s investigation was killed because Bloomberg News was concerned about threats from the Chinese government. Prior to that, Forsythe was part of the award-winning team that in 2012 investigated the accumulation of wealth by China’s elite. It caught the attention of the Chinese ambassador who warned Bloomberg brass against publishing the story, which went to press anyway.
Bloomberg, who was the mayor of New York City at the time, denied that the article was killed during a City Hall press conference.
