Hillary Reinsberg of TheJaneDough.com interviewed Bloomberg Television anchor Margaret Brennan about her career and her work covering business.
Here is an excerpt:
I am a journalist and anchor of a two hour live global broadcast everyday on Bloomberg TV.
My show – called “InBusiness with Margaret Brennan” – is a daily snapshot of the top financial issues on Wall Street, Main Street, K Street and the global markets.
I joined Bloomberg TV in July 2009 as an anchor after spending 7 years as a reporter and before than a producer at CNBC. I studied Foreign Affairs and Middle East studies at the University of Virginia and minored in Arabic language. I thought that I’d work in diplomacy but ended up in TV after interning at CNN one summer.
I joined TV news because I like being in the middle of the world as it is changing. For me, financial news is more than decimal points and earnings reports. To paraphrase Sec. Clinton, economic strength is more of a determination of influence than military might in today’s world. In this country the election will be decided on whether Americans have jobs and opportunity. And outside the U.S., arguably the fate of 500 million Europeans and the rest of the global economy rests on the shoulders of two women: Germany’s Angela Merkel and the IMF’s Christine Lagarde. All of these narratives and currents excite me. Those are the ideas that get me excited every day.
