Early life and education

Joseph Weisenthal was born on September 2, 1980, in Detroit, Michigan.[2][3] He is Jewish but has stated although he does not understand Hebrew, he goes to shul to “disconnect from the broader World and experience something timeless and ancient”.[4] He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2002 with a degree in political science.[5][6]

Career

In 2004, Weisenthal co-created the markets blog TheStalwart.com with his friend Vincent Fernando, which published discussions about current stocks, finance, business, and economics.[5][7] Weisenthal wrote for the technology news blog Techdirt as an analyst between March 2006 and September 2007.[7][8]

In October 2008, Weisenthal joined Business Insider as lead financial blogger covering markets, finance, and economics,[9] and in February 2013, became executive editor of the website.[10]

In October 2014, Weisenthal left Business Insider and joined Bloomberg L.P. the same month as managing editor of Bloomberg's online markets and finance coverage,[11] running the newly created Bloomberg Markets website.[12]

In June 2015, Weisenthal joined the newly created markets show What'd You Miss?, which he co-anchored with Alix Steel on Bloomberg Television.[13] The show is named after one of Weisenthal's most often-used expressions, "What'd I miss?", which he tweets almost every morning.[14][9] As of July 2021, the show is co-anchored by Weisenthal, Caroline Hyde, and Romaine Bostick.[15]

Since 2015, Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway, an executive editor for Bloomberg News based in Hong Kong, have co-hosted the business and finance podcast Odd Lots, which as of 2021 is released twice a week on Monday and Thursday, on Bloomberg Podcasts and other podcasting platforms.[16][17]

In November 2016, Weisenthal became the executive editor of news for Bloomberg's digital brands.[18][1]
