Mark Eddo
Business and Economics Correspondent, ITV News
Mark Eddo is the Business and Economics Correspondent for ITV News. On most week nights he keeps ITV's 5 million regular viewers informed on all the major business stories. ITV News is produced at the London studios of ITN, the world's largest independent broadcast news provider.
Mark joined ITN in January 2006, and has since put business and economics at the heart of the ITV News schedule. He has interviewed such luminaries as Bill Gates and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and has distinguished himself with a series of reports on the worsening economic climate brought about by the credit crunch.
Before ITN, Mark spent 4 years working as a presenter and reporter at the BBC. He regularly hosted 'World Business Report' on BBC World, and reported live from the London Stock Exchange for the BBC's flagship channel BBC One. Mark also reported from South Africa and New York.
Between 2000 and 2002, Mark helped create 'Network of the World'. 'NOW' was an ambitious multi-million dollar drive to create a converged TV/Internet channel. It was seen in Australia, The Middle East and Asia.
Mark has always had a keen interest in emerging technologies and was one of the first TV journalists to entirely devote his efforts to charting the rise of the digital revolution. In 1996 he presented the news segment of MSNBC's award-winning technology program 'The Site', in San Francisco, California. Mark later joined ZDTV, the US cable newtork devoted to the digital lifestyle. He presented 'Big Thinkers', an in-depth discussion programme where he interviewed guests such as Michael Dell, Stan Lee, Herbie Hancock, and the creator of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee.
Before his time in San Francisco, he served as an assistant producer on the US business show 'The Wall Street Journal' produced by Dow Jones TV in New York. Mark started his TV career at European Business News (now CNBC Europe) in London, England.
