I'm still a bit confused. Are you implying that Bloomberg and Twitter are in competition? I'm not so sure they are, really, in any sense.

Bloomberg is a private corporation which sells ads and exercises editorial discretion in publishing market-moving information and/or editorials.

Twitter is a public corporation which hosts Tweets, sells ads, and selects trending Twitter Moments.

Both companies are media services. Both companies compete for ad revenue. Both companies compete for readers' time.

(Medium allows journalists to publish information and/or editorials for free (or, now, for subscription revenue from membership programs)).
