Romaine Bostick: How Hip-Hop DJs, classical music, and a love for data shaped the long-tenured Bloomberg anchor.

Romaine Bostick's path to becoming a journalist started out as a teenager in the basement of a hip hop radio station in Chicago. It turns out that learning from folks like Pink House and JP Chill was the perfect launching pad to becoming one of the most established TV anchors in financial news. On this episode of Press Profiles, the Bloomberg anchor discusses his approach to the craft, his use of data to tell stories, and the CIA techniques he uses to research his guests. We also learn about his locker room encounter with President Obama, his distinctive lapel pins, his plea to be a Jeopardy contestant, and as always, a whole lot more.
