Jon Friedman, the media columnist for Marketwatch.com, writes Wednesday about how CNBC anchor Mark Haines — who died Tuesday night at the age of 65 — performed during interviews.
“No, he didn’t quite trust CEOs’ platitudes, and he could get his subjects to squirm a bit when he pressed them.
“Haines hailed from the New York metropolitan area. His career began as an attorney. Later he was an on-air presence at TV stations in New York, Philadelphia and Providence, R.I., before he gravitated to CNBC.
“On Wednesday morning, his CNBC colleagues remembered him fondly. Still obviously in shock, one after another, they told moving, heartfelt stories about a teammate they respected.”
