“Marketplace” managing editor Miller is leaving

Mark Miller

Mark Miller, the managing editor of public radio show “Marketplace,” overseeing the portfolio of programs and digital platforms, is leaving the show.

Miller posted on Facebook that he is moving to New York, but did not say what is new job would be. In an email to Talking Biz News, he said his new job will be announced the week of July 11.

“Before I joined ‘Marketplace,’ I was a huge fan of the shows,” said Miller. “And I have loved being a part of the organization — the work we do is serious but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. So I leave an even bigger fan of ‘Marketplace.’ When an exciting opportunity presented itself in New York, my favorite city (outside of Austin!), I just couldn’t pass it up.”

Miller joined “Marketplace” in 2014. Previously, he was deputy editorial director of The Hollywood Reporter, the revamped entertainment industry magazine. He came to Los Angeles from New York, where he was director of editorial operations at Newsweek and The Daily Beast under Tina Brown.

Miller had a long connection with Newsweek, joining the magazine as a summer intern in 1985 and eventually becoming editorial director in 2009.

In 1991, Miller became a Newsweek political correspondent working exclusively on the 1992 presidential campaign. He was part of the magazine’s special quadrennial election project in which a team of correspondents went behind the scenes to chronicle the race for the presidency, producing a number of exclusives.

Newsweek’s instant history, published less than 36 hours after the polls closed on Nov. 5, 1992, was honored with several awards, including the National Magazine Award. The special election project was expanded and turned into Quest for the Presidency 1992, a well-reviewed book published in 1994 by Texas A&M University Press.

A native Texan, Miller is a graduate of Southern Methodist University with a B.A. in history and a B.F.A. in journalism.
