Maria Bartiromo

Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo spoke with Dean Rotbart as part of the Business News Luminaries series recognizing those who have had a significant impact on business journalism in the 21st century.

Bartiromo spoke about covering previous crises and how that helped her in the current pandemic.

“I’m reporting the facts. I’m trying to speak the truth. And that’s what I do every day,” said Bartiriomo “That’s what I did during the financial crisis of 2008.”

“I’m doing the same thing I have always done,” she added.

Bartiromo said she is not worried about the economy coming back and long-term investing.

“I certainly do have experience living through 9/11 and living through 2006, 2007,” she said.
