BusinessWeek loses two more staffers

Despite the relaunch of BusinessWeek magazine, longtime staffers continue to depart the weekly.

Tara Kalwarski turned in her ID badges and laptop computer to human resources on Monday. Kalwarski had been the department editor of the Numbers section. She also wrote for the Personal Business section.

Kalwarski tells Talking Biz News that she will be joining Morgan Stanley Smith Barney’s strategy group in a few weeks. “I’m looking forward to exploring this opportunity outside of journalism, though will sorely miss the writers and editors I worked with at BusinessWeek,” she said.

Previously, Kalwarski was assistant managing editor of Financial Week, a position she assumed in January 2008. Prior to that, she was the data editor of the publication. Kalwarski began her journalism career at Money Magazine, where she held numerous roles, including special projects editor and senior reporter.

Meanwhile, Amber Siegel also resigned on Monday. Siegel had been the online art production manager for BusinessWeek.
