CNNMoney.com managing editor Lex Haris sent out the following announcement:
I’m pleased to announce that Heather Long will be joining CNNMoney as Markets & Investing editor.
It became immediately clear to all of us that Heather has a lot of smart, innovative ideas for approaching coverage.
It’s easy to see why from her background: Heather is currently the assistant opinion editor at The Guardian, where she oversees an impressive stable of columnists.
Prior to that she was at The Patriot News in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where she was part of the team that won a Pulitzer for coverage of Jerry Sandusky.
She was a Rhodes Scholar in 2004 and after finishing at Oxford, stuck around London advising pensions and endowments on their investments.
We’re very happy to have her join the team – her first day will be March 24.
