CNNMoney.com executive editor Lex Haris sent out the following announcement on Thursday:
Want more smart takes on the biggest money issues of the day? We have good news: Heather Long will now devote more time to reporting, writing and analysis.
Heather has already – amazingly – found time to write in between all her other jobs: Leading our markets and economy coverage, developing big features, and working with our data providers.
Heather has excelled at all of it and will write on the economy, especially the top economic issues on the 2016 campaign trail.
The new markets and economy editor will be Pallavi Gogoi. She’s been a master at finding new angles on money stories on the news desk and writers love working with her.
And she knows the subject matter well: In a past life, she covered the financial crisis for USA Today and was a banking reporter for the AP.
She’s eager to get back to monitoring Wall Street — and we know the coverage will be excellent.
