OPEC Bars Five Leading News Organizations From Oil Conference - BLOOMBERG
By Will Kennedy
OPEC has excluded five of the world’s leading news organizations from covering its biennial oil seminar in Vienna, attended by the group’s ministers and senior industry executives.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries did not accredit Bloomberg News, despite repeated requests, and offered no explanation for its decision. The New York Times, the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Reuters were also excluded — widening a ban the organization imposed two years ago. Other news organizations were granted access to the conference, which runs Wednesday and Thursday.
