Bloomberg Businessweek publisher Bosso is out

Bloomberg Businessweek publisher Michelle Bosso left the magazine last week during the purge of its top editorial staffers, reports Keith Kelly of the New York Post.

Kelly writes, “That makes it a clean sweep since BBW veteran Ellen Pollock, who held the editor-in-chief job for the past year, was also given the old heave-ho and replaced by Washington bureau chief Megan Murphy.

“Bosso is not the only business-side executive who is exiting.

“Marc Siegel, a seven-year veteran of Bloomberg Radio, is also out as global had of audio sales. His position, too, is not being replaced.

“In the editorial shake-up, 30 newsroom staffers scattered around the globe were let go, and Bloomberg Politics stars John Heilemann and Mark Halperin will see their daily show on Bloomberg TV end on Dec. 2.”
