Rebecca Harrington
Former Business Insider executive editor Rebecca Harrington has been hired by Dynamo to be its chief of staff.
Dynamo is the new media company started by former Business Insider editor in chief Nicholas Carlson.
Harrington will manage the company’s day-to-day operations, such as human resources, legal, finance and vendor relationships.
At Business Insider, which she left in January, she oversaw the science, speed news, weekend news, LA news, visual features, and voices of color desks. She worked across teams to assign, coordinate, and edit breaking news, explainers, features, analysis, and investigations. She also developed guides, trainings, and coaching opportunities for the newsroom to get better every day.
Harrington started as a reporter on Tech Insider’s science section in 2015, covering everything from solar energy and rocket launches to Zika, before moving to the news team during the summer of 2016 at the height of the presidential election and then running weekend coverage for 2 years.
Harrington received her master’s degree from the Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program at New York University, as well as a BS in biology and a BA in journalism from the University of Minnesota.
