Bloomberg News offers free subscriptions to college students

Details: Students can register with their university address for verification. Free subscriptions will not include access to The Information, which Bloomberg began offering in bundled subscriptions earlier this year.

• Bloomberg Media says the thinking behind the effort is to give students access to as much information as possible as they try to navigate what this pandemic means for their future.

The big picture: Bloomberg's offer follows similar efforts, like that from The New York Times and Verizon, to offer students free access to what's typically costly journalism during the coronavirus crisis.
