NEW YORK, November 17 - Bloomberg L.P. today announced that Josh Tyrangiel would be appointed
Editor of BusinessWeek magazine upon completion of its previously announced
acquisition of BusinessWeek.

Tyrangiel, 37, currently is deputy managing editor of TIME magazine and
managing editor of TIME.com. He has played a critical role in shaping the
magazine's business, technology and political coverage while managing the
magazine's staff. He built the Web site from 400 million page views in 2006
to an estimated 1.8 billion page views during 2009. Under his leadership, the
site was named Best Magazine Web Site by the Magazine Publishers Association
for the past two years.

Tyrangiel will report to Norman Pearlstine, chief content officer at
Bloomberg, who, in turn, reports on editorial matters to Matthew Winkler,
Bloomberg's editor-in-chief.

Pearlstine said he first met Tyrangiel a decade ago, soon after he joined
TIME as a reporter. "I saw Josh in a number of leadership positions as he
took on increasing responsibilities at TIME. Working closely with him in the
years I served as Time Inc.'s Editor-in-Chief, I came to appreciate his
intelligence, curiosity, energy, and integrity," Pearlstine said. "Josh is
recognized within Time Inc. and its parent, Time Warner Inc., as an 'editor's
editor' and a natural leader. His understanding of the ways in which print
and online publications can work together will serve Bloomberg well as we
expand our consumer media offerings."

Bloomberg Editor-In-Chief Winkler said, "Josh will build on
BusinessWeek's tradition of great fact-based journalism, coupling it with the
breadth and depth of Bloomberg news. Norm and Josh are the ideal team to
deliver a terrific business magazine that brings the most trusted, most
influential and most important news to a global audience of thought leaders."

Bloomberg L.P. President Daniel Doctoroff said, "Josh Tyrangiel will be a
tremendous asset as we build the market presence of BusinessWeek backed by
Bloomberg's global multimedia news organization, to create the most
compelling business news for the most sought-after readers."

Prior to joining TIME, Tyrangiel worked at Vibe and Rolling Stone
magazines and produced news at MTV. He earned a M.A. in American Studies from
Yale University and a B.A. from The University of Pennsylvania. "I am
thrilled to be joining Bloomberg and to lead BusinessWeek's talented
editorial team as we create the world's most influential and indispensable
business magazine," Tyrangiel said.

Background on Bloomberg and BusinessWeek

Bloomberg announced on October 13 that it would acquire BusinessWeek from
The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. At the time of the announcement, Bloomberg
L.P. Chairman Peter T. Grauer said, "The acquisition of BusinessWeek will
strengthen Bloomberg's online, television and mobile products. Together, the
BusinessWeek.com and the BLOOMBERG.COM(R) Web sites will have more unique
visitors than any non-portal business and financial site. We also expect to
build BLOOMBERG TELEVISION(R) content around the powerful BusinessWeek brand
and its excellent journalists.

"Bloomberg's universe of market makers and BusinessWeek's readership of
decision makers create a powerful audience and a unique value proposition for
advertisers. The reporting and analytical resources of Bloomberg and
BusinessWeek are unparalleled in their ability to deliver timely, distinctive
and credible content to an influential and highly sought-after audience,"
Grauer added.
