I doubt it was going to their news service. They run some service that lets you track every bill, order, etc in a huge searchable database. Has directory of all employees and contact information. Kind of like Bloomberg Terminal for government.
Going to guess it was for that. USAID is a joke and should be disbanded but that's one of the few things it spent on that was probably legit. Would cost way more than $8 million a year to build out and maintain that kind of system in-house.
The money spent at Bloomberg is almost assuredly for the terminal.
