Harris, other editorial staffers, leave personal finance site Considerable

Diane Harris, the editorial director of personal finance site Considerable, has left her position.

“I am so proud of the site we built and stories we’ve run — it’s been a great ride, fittingly ending in a surge of traffic for April,” she wrote on Twitter. The site is examining a new content strategy.

In addition, also departing are two full-time editors — deputy editor Katherine Lanpher, the former online features editor of Al Jazeera America among other roles, and executive editor Cybele Weisser, who was a former senior editor at Money — as well as part-time contributing editor Ellen Stark.

Harris, former editor in chief of Money magazine, helped start the personal finance site for consumers in their 50s and 60s a year ago.

Harris left Money magazine in February 2017. She joined Money in 1983 as writer, left in 1992 as a senior editor and rejoined the magazine as a top editor in 2005. She became its first female editor in chief in 2015.

In her two stints at the magazine she won a National Magazine Award for her coverage of the 1987 stock market crash, edited several award-winning series and features, and worked to develop extensions for the brand.

She has written monthly columns in Parenting and AARP magazine and is the co-author of a personal finance book for women, with Georgette Mosbacher, called “It Takes Money, Honey,” based on a feature Harris originally wrote for Money.
