Biz journalist Siklos to join Time Warner

Former Fortune editor at large Richard Siklos is joining Time Warner as a vice president in corporate affairs handling external and internal communications and advising on media strategy, reports Tom Lowry of Variety.

Lowry writes, “Siklos will report to Gary Ginsberg, a former top aide to Rupert Murdoch who joined Time Warner in the spring to head corporate affairs. He reports directly to CEO Jeff Bewkes.

“Siklos brings to the new job more than 15 years’ experience chronicling the media and entertainment landscape. Most recently, he penned a column on Hollywood for the New York Observer while working on a book about Michael Jackson for Crown Publishing.

“Previously, Siklos served as an editor-at-large for Fortune (a Time Inc. publication), media writer for the New York Times and media editor for BusinessWeek. He also did stints at Inside magazine, London’s Daily Telegraph, Canada’s Globe and Mail and as an adjunct professor at NYU.

“The Toronto native is also author of ‘Shades of Black: Conrad Black — His Rise and Fall.'”
