A digital (Actelion) "scoop" dissected - part 3

Johnson & Johnson has finally announced its $30 billion takeover bid for Swiss pharmaceutical company Actelion.

As a result, the Bloomberg clan are out in force this morning on Twitter reminding the business world about how the financial media organisation late last year "broke" the story about Johnson & Johnson's multi-billion dollar takeover approach for Actelion.

That's fair enough, I guess. But I would like to remind readers that it was, in fact, little old Betaville who first reported on Tip TV that Actelion was the focus of "bid speculation" four days before Bloomberg released its hard scoop. That was then followed up by reports from Street Insider and FT Alphaville. If your still interested in how this scoop unravelled, click on the link below:
