HBO’s “The Newsroom” Has A New Star: A Bloomberg Terminal

"They finally got one for me, a Bloomberg terminal. This is a $24,000 system that gives me instantaneous access to all the financial information in the world,” says Sloan Sabbith, played by Olivia Munn, in last Sunday’s premiere episode of the final season of HBO’s The Newsroom.

One storyline Aaron Sorkin and his writers plan to unspool over the course of The Newsroom’s last six episodes is who is behind a hostile takeover attempt of Atlantis World Media, the parent company of the cable news network ACN that provides the show’s setting. And the Bloomberg terminal gets a starring role in the reporting process.
