My Take

Richard Quest is one of the few broadcasters whose voice alone tells you who is talking. The Liverpool-born former barrister turned CNN business anchor takes dry economic news and makes it oddly thrilling, all gravelly delivery and irrepressible energy. What I admire most is the human warmth he smuggles into a genre that usually drowns in charts and jargon, whether covering markets or globe-trotting on his travel shows. The pivot from law to journalism gives him a precision underneath the showmanship. He does not merely read the news; he performs it with conviction, and that is increasingly rare.

Overview

Richard Austin Quest (born 9 March 1962) is a British journalist and non-practising barrister working as a news anchor for CNN International. He is also an editor-at-large of CNN Business. He anchors Quest Means Business, the five-times-weekly business programme and fronts the CNN shows Business Traveller, The Express and Quest's World of Wonder.
