Dan Colarusso, the managing editor of Bloomberg Television, is leaving for a position at Reuters, two separate sources confirmed to Talking Biz News.

It’s unclear what Colarusso’s new position will be at Reuters, but the wire service has been increasing its video offerings.

Colarusso joined the network in August 2009 and was responsible for the content and direction of the U.S. operations. In recent months, Bloomberg Television had made a number of moves, including hiring two new anchors, a West Coast bureau chief and a head of U.S. news.

Prior to joining Bloomberg TV, Colarusso was managing editor at Silicon Alley Insider and managing editor at Conde Nast Portfolio.com. Before that he was metro editor at the New York Post, and business editor at the New York Post. He has also written for the New York Times, Barron’s and The Daily Beast.

Colarusso, a Brooklyn native, joined the Post in 2002 from TheStreet.com. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Long Island University’s Brooklyn campus and worked at Business Tokyo and Securities Weeks.

At TheStreet.com, Colarusso was associated editor and consulted on story ideas and wrote a weekly column called “Truth Serum” and features. He also frequently appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
