Jim Kingsland, a business journalist who worked for CNBC, Fox Business Network and Bloomberg, died this week at the age of 49.
Jerry Barmash of FishbowlNY writes, “He had severe diabetes, which led to a liver transplant several years ago. His eyesight was poor and his pancreas was compromised.
“At Bloomberg for much of the time, he was news director at WBBR.
“Wes Richards was host of Bloomberg on the Weekends.
“‘He had the right stuff, he did the right thing,’ Richards tells FishbowlNY. ‘He was a pleasure to work for and work with and an island of calm and rationality in a sea of chaos.’
“Kingsland bookended Bloomberg with FNN/CNBC and Fox Business Network from 2007 to 2010 as assignment editor.
“The business journalist also had a passion for numismatics – the study of currency – founding JK Numismatics in November 2006, according to his LinkedIn page.”
