CNBC anchor Erin Burnett talked to the New York Post’s Zachery Kouwe about her career and what she likes about covering business.
Here is an excerpt:
A: I really love business news, talking about deals and having CEOs on air. The guys who run nuts and bolts companies – like the companies that inject air into diapers – really know what’s going on. So you could sort of say that I took to business news like a fish to water. The best thing about being in business news is you don’t have to cover Paris [Hilton] unless Hilton Hotels is being sold.
Q: What are your favorite stories?
A: I love breaking news, when something big hits the wire and you have to start talking about it off-the-cuff with no teleprompters. It’s a lot of fun and invigorating.
Q: After you graduated from Williams College, you worked at Goldman Sachs. Why did you leave?
A: I loved the experience and I still have a lot of friends there. I just didn’t feel an excitement about it.
