Randall Kenneth Jones of the Naples Daily News in Florida profiles Tyler Mathisen of CNBC.
Jones writes, “Prior to joining CNBC in 1997, he was a respected, award-winning writer, senior editor and top editor for Money magazine.
“However, once again, Mathisen parlayed his ongoing education and developing communication skills into a new role as money editor of ‘Good Morning America’ from 1991-97, thus placing him behind the keyboard and in front of the camera.
“In the words of Phil Beuth, former president of ‘Good Morning America,’ ‘Tyler projects amazing credibility — in double and triple doses.’
“Schurenberg adds, ‘He is a master of directing energy.’
“As should be the goal of any journalist — but may be the reality for a select few — Mathisen advises: ‘Never believe you are the smartest man in the room — always be willing to learn something new.’
“Today, the much heralded Mathisen co-anchors CNBC’s ‘Power Lunch’ and ‘Nightly Business Report,’ an award-winning evening business news program for U.S. public television.”
