Executive editor Goldberg leaving Bloomberg News

Bloomberg News executive editor Susan Goldberg told staff Thursday in an email that she is leaving the company to become executive editor at National Geographic.

Michael Calderone of The Huffington Post writes, “Goldberg had previously overseen coverage of federal, state and local government out of Washington.

“She came to Bloomberg in 2010 with an extensive newspaper background. She previously editor of Cleveland’s The Plain Deal, executive editor of the San Jose Mercury News, deputy managing editor of USA Today. Goldberg also worked for the Detroit Free Press and now-shuttered Seattle Post-Intelligence.

“Goldberg’s departure isn’t completely unexpected, as it follows a management shuffle in September. Laurie Hays, a senior executive editor at Bloomberg L.P., expanded her role at the company into coverage of economics and Washington. As a result, Goldberg would report to Hays, who reports to top editor Matt Winkler.

“Last month, Washington managing editor Mike Tackett left for the New York Times.”
