CNNMoney to expand globally
February 21, 2016 Websites
CNN Worldwide is to expand its CNNMoney brand internationally, across both TV and digital, with the addition of staff and the launch of new franchises, series, features and reporting tailored directly to the regions and audiences it covers,
Mike McCarthy, senior vice president and general manager of CNN International, said: “By uniting our portfolio of U.S. and international business reporting under the CNNMoney brand, we now offer an even more compelling product to globally-minded consumers hungry for a smart, accessible business and financial news experience – everywhere in the world.”
Coverage from CNNMoney will span Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America and 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.
The venture will tap the talents of Richard Quest, Nina dos Santos and Maggie Lake whose programs will represent CNNMoney on television: CNNMoney View with Nina dos Santos will air from London, while CNNMoney with Maggie Lake and Quest Means Business, anchored by Richard Quest, will air from New York.
In addition, Quest will now serve as editor-at-large for CNNMoney and will pen a global daily newsletter “CNNMoney Presents: Quest Means Business," timed to the open of the Asia markets.
Also joining the CNNMoney roster are John Defterios, emerging markets editor based in Abu Dhabi; Andrew Stevens, Asia Pacific editor based in Hong Kong; Eleni Giokos, Africa business correspondent based in Johannesburg; and Samuel Burke, CNNMoney business correspondent based in New York.
The multi-platform editorial teams will be led by Penny Manis, director of global business news programming based in New York, and Mark Thompson, international managing editor of CNNMoney, who is based in London.
