Dan Colarusso, the executive editor for digital at Reuters, sent out the following staff announcement on Thursday:
I am pleased to announce that Frank Tantillo is being named Managing Editor, Product, Reuters.com.
Frank is a veteran Reuters journalist and trusted voice in the newsroom. He joined the company as a news assistant in 1994 and quickly became the kid in the newsroom who knew how to both find things on the then-new Internet and how to explain to the old-timers how it worked. He’s been intimately involved with the training and implementation of major editorial systems and moved over to Reuters.com in 2005 as one of its first hires.
He has been our go-to guy since.
In his new position, he will be among the key editorial voices in product development and technology changes on Reuters.com, working closely with Brian Tracey. He will be responsible for developing ideas around new sections, user experience features and multimedia/data innovation and troubleshooting technology issues relating to editorial workflows.
Please join me in congratulating Frank.
