Media reporter joining Bloomberg Businessweek

Felix Gillette, who covers the media and tech business for the New York Observer, announced Thursday that he has accepted a reporting position at Bloomberg Businessweek magazine.

At the Observer, Gillette wrote about TV and digital media. A native of Washington D.C., he is a graduate of St. Albans high school and Columbia University. Previously, he has worked as a staff writer at the Washington City Paper, the Columbia Journalism Review, and the Village Voice. His freelance work has appeared in numerous outlets including the New York Times, Slate, and the Texas Monthly.

The magazine, acquired in December by Bloomberg, has been overhauling its staff and its content. A redesigned magazine was introduced in April, and the staff moved into Bloomberg’s building in May.

Gillette switched off the TV beat earlier this year to cover new media and the New York tech beat.
