Forbes names co-managing editors

Forbes magazine announced Tuesday that Stewart Pinkerton and Tom Post have been promoted to managing editors. Both Pinkerton and Post have been serving as deputy managing editors.

In his new role, Pinkerton will continue to oversee the integration of contributors to the magazine and Forbes.com. Prior to joining Forbes in 1990, he spent 24 years at The Wall Street Journal, in a mix of reporting and editing positions.

As deputy managing editor for the Journal, Pinkerton coordinated the reporting and editing of the paper’s insider trading coverage that won two Journal reporters the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Journalism.

Post will continue to have a significant role in the development of cover stories for Forbes, and continue to oversee a stable of magazine writers and reporters. He has been with Forbes since 1997, joining the company from ABC News.

Post has an extensive career in journalism, including serving as general editor at Newsweek magazine from 1990 to 1996, as well as stints at Business Month, Success Magazine, Venture magazine, and at Fortune. In 1993, he won The National Women’s Political Caucus Award for “A Pattern of Rape: War Crimes in Bosnia,” his cover story for Newsweek.
