Marketwatch media columnist Jon Friedman writes Friday that he’s hearing that Ray Hennessey, the editor of the SmartMoney web site, is being courted to oversee the web operations of the upcoming Fox Business Channel. He’ll work closely with Alexis Glick, director of business news for Fox.
“For her part, Glick was a senior trading correspondent for CNBC and reported from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange for CNBC’s morning program, ‘Squawk Box.’ Glick also was a correspondent for NBC’s ‘Today’ and co-anchored the show’s third hour.
“It has been interesting to watch the moves by Fox and CNBC as the two prepare to go into battle this fall. Publicly, CNBC has coolly acknowledged the Fox threat but insists that it’ll continue to do what it has been doing, thank you very much.”
