Dan Colarusso is joining Bloomberg TV as its new managing editor for U.S. television. He’ll be responsible for the content and editorial direction for the network in the U.S.
The former managing editor, John Meehan, was let go earlier this year as part of a huge purge at Bloomberg’s TV and radio operations.
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.”
