Minyanville names deputy editor

Business journalist Mitchell Hall has been named deputy editor of www.minyanville.com, according to an announcement Thursday.

Hall was formerly a reporter for The National Business Review in New Zealand and the web editor for Get Frank Ltd. He continues to blog about a variety of topics and writes regular business feature articles and cover stories for Idealog Magazine. Hall covers macroeconomics, technology, energy, agriculture and emerging markets.

“I love the intelligence and quality of Minyanville’s content,” said Hall in a statement. “But just as important, I admire how Minyanville communicates with its audience. Minyanville’s tone, combined with its famously satirical irreverence, provides a thoughtful and insightful voice that has demonstrated consistent prescience on major economic issues.”

Hall will be working with editor-in-chief Kevin Depew on managing staff writers, generating ideas for Minyanville’s blog “The Daily Feed,” and working with syndication partners, including Yahoo, Dow Jones, MarketWatch, AOL, and MSN. He will also be working with Annie Stickney, the general managing for online marketing and development, on website functionality and layout.

“We’re thrilled Mitchell is joining the Minyanville team,” said Depew in a statement. “In addition to a strong business editorial background, he brings a global perspective that will be instrumental in developing new content initiatives.”
