Colarusso to be global head of programming at Reuters

Steve Adler, the editor in chief at Reuters, made the following staff announcement on Tuesday afternoon:

I am delighted to announce that Dan Colarusso, managing editor of Bloomberg Television, is joining Reuters as our global head of programming.

Colarusso has yet to meet a media platform he couldn’t master. Under his stewardship, the N.Y. Post’s business section became a must-read for Wall Street as well as Main Street. He was later named the newspaper’s metro editor. Afterward, Colarusso made the leap to the web as the top editor of Conde Nast’s fledgling Portfolio.com, turning the site into a premier business destination. After a brief stop at Business Insider, he joined Bloomberg.

At Reuters, Colarusso will wear his video hat again. His mission is an ambitious one: transforming what under Chris Cramer has become an increasingly influential financial video service into a broader video offering serving our diverse customers on all delivery platforms. He will report directly to Chrystia Freeland, editor of Thomson Reuters Digital.

I want to thank Chris for his outstanding work at Insider. He will become editor at large and will focus on several key projects as Reuters expands its multimedia capabilities and content.

Please join me in welcoming Colarusso to Reuters.
