Bellstrom hired to take over Fortune’s Broadsheet

Kristen Bellstrom, a senior editor at Money magazine, has been hired by Fortune magazine to run its Broadsheet email about the world’s most powerful women.

She replaces Caroline Fairchild, who left for a job with LinkedIn.

Bellstrom, who will start on March 9, will also edit and manage the Most Powerful Women channel on Fortune.com. In the interim, the Broadsheet will be written by Fortune writer Deena Shanker.

At Money since June 2012, Bellstrom edited monthly features, including an annual real estate guide cover and the signature Best Places to Live package, which involves managing a large-scale data gathering project and a team of 12 reporters. She also oversaw the magazine’s front-of-book, managing staff and freelance writers.

Before that, Bellstrom spent seven years at Smart Money, starting as a staff reporter and ending as a senior editor.

She has degrees from Duke University in political science and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
