Rita Lobo

Profile

Rita Lobo is Share Radio's weekend editor, and is fullfilling her career ambition of working on the radio after three years covering business and finance in print and online. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Rita has worked in her home country, South East Asia and Europe. She has written for titles like World Finance, The New Economy and the Huffington Post, covering politics, current affairs and business. With a background in politics and philosophy, Rita specialises in making macro-economic news and concepts more accessible to listeners and readers.

"I never planned to specialise in business and economics, but as a professional journalist in London I quickly discovered that these concepts underpinned every major political, social and cultural story. By becoming more literate in business and economics, I have become a better journalist, and more functioning adult. Now I manage my own finances without a hitch! Somehow people started perceiving business and finance news as 'uncool' or complicated, and my goal is to make it accessible and exciting again!"

Rita also presents The World This Week.
