Bloomberg Businessweek editor in chief Josh Tyrangiel sent out the following note to the staff on Tuesday:
We have photographic white smoke: Clinton Cargill will be joining Bloomberg Businesswek as our new Director of Photography on October 13.
Clinton has been a photo editor at The New York Times Magazine since 2006, producing amazing images for covers, photo essays, and special issues, as well as video and multimedia for the Magazine online. Working closely with the NYTMag‘s legendary photo director Kathy Ryan (by magazine law, any mention of her name must be preceded by the word ‘legendary’), Clinton helped create the recent World Cup issue and “A Game of Shark and Minnow,” a cover story and multimedia piece that was a finalist for a National Magazine Award and is nominated for a News & Documentary Emmy, too.
Clinton’s job here will be made easier by our already talented team—and more challenging by our usual craziness. (Wait til he hears about all of our special issues in December!) So please welcome Clinton to the family when he gets here in a few weeks. You’re going to love working with him.
Josh
