Carney to join CNBC.com

John Carney will be joining CNBC.com, the online site for the business news network, as senior editor, the network announced Wednesday. In addition to writing for the site, Carney will also appear regularly on CNBC’s Business Day programming.

“John has deep connections on Wall Street and has a unique insight into its trading community,” said Allen Wastler, managing editor of CNBC.com. “He is well-known within the financial world and we are delighted to have him on our team.”

Previously, Carney was the managing editor of Business Insider’s financial news and gossip vertical, Clusterstock. Earlier this year, The Wall Street Journal named Clusterstock as one of the 10 best financial blogs.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of the best team in business journalism,” said Carney in a statement.

Carney’s appointment to CNBC.com comes on the heels of a record-breaking month for the site. In April, CNBC.com scored a record page view month, with 282 million, making it the No. 1 standalone financial news website by total page views, according to the latest data from comScore Media Metrix.  In addition, the online destination for global business news and expert analysis was visited by 5.7 million unique visitors, the most in any April on record.
