Timothy O’Brien, the Sunday business editor at the New York Times, has been hired by the Huffington Post as its national editor, reports Michael Calderone of Yahoo News.
“Co-founder Arianna Huffington, reached by phone from Chile, described O’Brien as a ‘world-class editor who can bring out the best in writers.’
“Huffington believes ‘the future of journalism is hybrid’ — merging traditional and new media –and hopes an experienced editor like O’Brien can help mentor the growing ranks of web-native reporters producing original content for the news and aggregation site. ‘The difference that makes is extraordinary,’ Huffington said, noting that Goodman has also served the role of mentor since coming aboard.
“‘There’s nothing more fun than communicating with young, hungry reporters who want to learn the craft and want to aspire to do big , meaty, compelling stories,’ O’Brien said. ‘I love that dynamic. It’s very much like being a teacher.'”
