Dodai Stewart has been named the new editor in chief at Fusion as Alexis Madrigal is returning to writing about technology, reports Todd Spangler of Variety.
Spangler writes, “Stewart joined Fusion in October 2014, after spending seven years at Gawker Media’s Jezebel.com. In announcing the management change, Fusion president and chief content officer Daniel Eilemberg said that she’ll help to integrate the former Gawker Media sites, which Univision bought in a bankruptcy auction for $135 million.
“Madrigal, in a note to Fusion staff, said that as editor-at-large he will ‘get back to writing a ton more, focusing on technology, housing, and trade.’ He said Stewart will be able to provide more direct management for employees in New York and Miami, and added, ‘I’ve got two kids under three and I live 3,000 miles from most of the edit team.’
“In addition to writing, Madrigal will continue to executive produce his ‘Real Future’ show for the Fusion TV network and will oversee the Real Future Fair event in the San Francisco Bay Area.”
