Tara Lachapelle

Bittersweet. After ~12 years at Bloomberg and as a financial journalist, I’ve decided to try something new.

Such a great night hearing my incredible colleague @paulvigna discuss his latest book, including all the months of research that went into seeing just how far back our world’s worship of money goes. If you want a read that will really get you thinking, check out “The Almightier”

That time I thought 100 people came to Barnes & Noble to see me, but they were there for some Korean pop band. tiktok.com/t/ZP8k1evCj/

This snowy Friday press briefing, we have a strong all-female front row (and nearly the entire second row) including MANY working moms! 💪 And we 👏 the responsible winter footwear. CNN, Reuters, ABC, AP, CBS, FOX, NBC, WaPo, NPR, Bloomberg, CBS Radio, WSJ

@jkarl26 Why did I think the first one was Buffett and Munger

i am getting served one ad and one ad only on this app and it's these beyond creepy 3D photo crystals ... for mother's day

@JetBlue So even with a basic fare ticket a carry-on assistive device is allowed?

@taralach As you stated, strollers and car seats do not count toward your carry-on or checked bag allowance. You may check them through when you arrive at the airport or gate-check them at the jetbridge. Hope this helps!

@BWilliLiou @TheTerminal @business all roads lead to ... 😜

Good morning. This was the most-read story on @TheTerminal during the past day as of 8 am in NY: The average Wall Street bonus fell 26% last year to $176,700. Part of the reason? A dearth of dealmaking. It always comes down to deals ... 👇 bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @business

@sherman4949 @EdHammondNY Second this! Congrats @EdHammondNY

Wanted to give some public love for my long-time teammate @EdHammondNY today. He’s the best M&A reporter in the business, and I urge him to write a public personal essay now about how difficult it is stop to doing M&A reporting when you’ve gotten this good at it.

I like to experiment with different forms of storytelling. Here’s a toddler’s day, told through dishes.

World War I

If a PR person intentionally lies to me because they think it will help reshape or shut down a story I’m working on, I will always find out, and I won’t ever forget it. This has happened twice already this year.

you know I’m smirking

Been running into dads of my 3yo’s classmates and asking for their emails for his birthday party and so far 3 out of 3 dads have proceeded to give me their wives’ emails instead. This is now a social experiment.

@davidjshipley @opinion @washingtonpost @TimOBrien Best wishes, David! They are lucky to have you. Ever grateful to have worked under your leadership. (Also sad to be missing the chance to work under @TimOBrien’s again, too!)

Bittersweet news. Departing beloved Bloomberg @Opinion for The @WashingtonPost. Congratulations to @TimOBrien on the new job. This team won't miss a beat.

@jamesgibney So sorry 🥺

"Dog-walker" is no longer on my Twitter bio. We had to put down Kona 3 weeks ago. She was 18 years old, and a true-blue trooper for every one of them. A fierce defender, loyal to family, and not fond of outsiders until she could sniff out their intentions.

@EMPosts Thanks, Eric, and for being a wonderful colleague!

@taralach We'll miss you Tara! You've had a fantastic run. Wishing you the best of success with your next endeavor!

@taralach I'll miss your smart work, Tara. All the best in your new pursuits.

@jkarl26 Loved working together! Thank you, Jess. Keep rocking it

@taralach Miss you already!!!

@NewsyNick Thanks so much, Nick

@taralach OH NO!! But congrats on what's next. You'll be missed!

@StaceyShick It was so, so nice working together and getting to know you, Stacey!

@taralach I'm going to miss you! But wishing you oh so well on what's next. We'll always have the merger planning meetings ...
