Dan Gross, who has been a business columnist for Yahoo Finance for the past two years, is moving to Newsweek/Daily Beast to become editor of global finance, reports Keith Kelly of the New York Post.
Kelly writes, “‘I’ll be writing a column for the magazine and Daily Beast and helping to run and grow a small-business vertical,’ said Gross.
“He left originally before stereo magnate Sidney Harman emerged to save the magazine in September 2010 and before the subsequent merger with Barry Diller’s InteractiveCorp-owned Daily Beast.
“The magazine is still jointly owned by Diller’s IAC and Harman’s estate, headed by his widow, Jane, a former Democratic Congresswoman from California.
“Through the July 16 issue, Newsweek’s ad pages are up 4.6 percent to 371, even as it chopped two issues out of its publishing cycle to cut costs.”
