Financial News Dataset from Bloomberg and Reuters

450,341 news from Bloomberg and 109,110 news from Reuters.

Very sorry to announce that those datasets are no longer available online for research purposes (NLP...) due to copyright issues.

However, if you have a request about it, send it to me at premy.enseirb@gmail.com and put the words "bloomberg dataset" in your email body.

Also the dataset is no longer updated because the access has been restricted by Bloomberg/Reuters a few years ago.
