Yahoo Finance announced that longtime Bloomberg Television staffer Julie Hyman has been hired as an anchor, part of the ongoing video expansion and increased live market coverage.
Hyman has covered financial markets for 20 years, spending the bulk of her career at Bloomberg Television. There, she served in a number of roles, most recently as senior markets correspondent, and previously as anchor; retail reporter; and correspondent at the NYSE and Nasdaq.
She joined Bloomberg as a reporter covering European stocks, in the Paris bureau. Hyman began her career at the Washington Times. She grew up outside Baltimore and attended Randolph-Macon College.
“We are thrilled that Julie is joining our team,” said Andy Hoffman, senior executive producer of Yahoo Finance. “She is an all-star journalist who brings passion and intelligence to the reporting of financial content.”
Hyman is that latest in a string of new hires for Yahoo Finance – spanning production, studios, talent and editorial – including Lulu Chiang, Adam Shapiro, and others. She will be based in Yahoo Finance’s New York bureau.
