The difference between CNBC and ABC

Steve Krakauer of TVNewser has excerpts of an interview this morning with ABC financial correspondent Bianna Golodryga, who used to work at CNBC.

Krakauer writes, “But covering the bad economic news came much earlier. ‘This crisis really hit home last September, October,’ she said. ‘It really did feel like a financial 9/11. We didn’t know what to expect, what was going to come next.’

“Golodryga described the difference between working at ABC and her previous job, at CNBC. ‘It was really a learning experience for me…Coming here, saying ‘I only have a minute to explain something that’s very complicated,” she said. ‘I was really fortunate to get a chance to break it down to the average person, because at the end of the day a lot of people even on Wall Street clearly didn’t know what was going on. So I think explaining something that’s very difficult to the average American makes things much easier for everybody.’

“Also discussed: what she thinks of all the ‘Money Honey’-like nicknames, the experience of working closely with Maria Bartiromo at CNBC and the dangers of reporting abroad.”
