TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE
A higher percentage of BusinessWeek‘s editorial staff overseas are maintaining their jobs in comparison to the domestic reporters and editors, where the cuts were larger as the magazine prepares to be sold to Bloomberg LP.
An estimated 30 percent to 40 percent of the domestic editorial staff have lost their jobs in the past week as a result of the deal.
However, Frankfurt bureau chief and European regional manager Jack Ewing is leaving for a job with the New York Times/International Herald Tribune in Frankfurt.
In Asia, Bruce Einhorn, the Asia channel editor and Asian regional manager in Hong Kong, is staying, as is senior writer Frederik Balfour in Hong Kong. So are Dexter “Tiff” Roberts in Beijing, Ian Rowley in Tokyo, and Moon Ilhwan in Seoul.
However, Kenji Hall in Tokyo and two administrative assistants will be leaving.
It’s unclear for many of these editorial staff members as to what they’ll be doing in the future. Some will likely join the Bloomberg News wire, while others will stay with the magazine.

dude, you are oddly obsessed with all things BW. granted what has happened at BW is a sad for many but this isn't the only business news story around. you do know AP laidoff about 100 people last week. have you reported on the fate of every other business reporter--many of them better known than people at BW--who have lost jobs at other publications. you really need to get some perspective. please remain this TalkingBWnews
STFU
I'm watching another stream of good journalists shoved out the door -- Mandel, fine, many others.
But the editor with the Barbie dolls stays on. Sigh.
