Kirsten Sanchez of The Bronx Times profiles Fox Business Network senior reporter Charles Gasparino, who is a Bronix native.

Sanchez writes, “Gasparino returned to New York after graduating with a Master’s degree in journalism and started his career in print journalism as a senior writer at Newsweek magazine where he broke major stories involving Wall Street and corporate America, including developments at the New York Stock Exchange under Richard Grasso and former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer’s crackdown on corporate crime.
