Richard Quest has high hopes for CNNMoney’s expansion

Brian Flood of The Wrap spoke with CNNMoney editor at large Richard Quest about its international expansion plans announced earlier this week.

Flood writes, “‘Putting together the substantial resources of our business journalists like this seems so obvious you wonder why we didn’t do it before. As one team, we will be bigger, better and be able to comprehensively cover the globe,’ Quest told TheWrap from Mumbai, where he is on assignment.

“CNNMoney will launch new franchises, series, features and reporting tailored to the regions and audiences it covers. It will aim to focus on global markets and the economy, business strategy, corporate leadership, global brands, business travel, lifestyle and luxury, as well as industries such as auto, energy and technology.

“‘I hope to bring my near 30 years in business journalism to bear giving perspective and analysis,’ Quest said. ‘After all, I have covered every financial crises since Black Monday in 1987, and CNNMoney will be the place to go for that coverage.’

“Quest will write a daily newsletter timed to the open of the Asia markets. Quest, Nina dos Santos and Maggie Lake’s shows will now represent CNNMoney on television.”
