Galen Moore, former web editor of the Boston Business Journal who also worked at FierceBiotech, is joining Streetwise as its new editor in chief.
Streetwise Media is a digital media and events company that owns and operates online city news properties including BostInno.com and InTheCapital.com.
It was founded in 2009 with the goal of providing hyperlocal and social events and content for the cities’ most connected, active and influential audience. In 2012, Streetwise was acquired by American City Business Journals, a subsidiary of Advance Publications which owns Conde Nast, Reddit and other media holdings.
Chase Garbarino, the CEO of Streetwise, writes, “We have known Galen for years and have a great respect for the work he has done in covering the Boston business community. At Streetwise, we believe there is innovation happening everywhere and across a number of different industries. Part of our mission is to foster innovation by telling the stories of the people who are driving change for the better. Galen has a deep understanding of how journalism is critical to an innovation economy and shares in our vision of bringing these stories to a much wider audience.
“As Editor in Chief, Galen will be working closely with all of the Streetwise publications — BostInno, InTheCapital and a new publication launching soon in Chicago — to broaden our editorial lens of innovation and by going deeper in our coverage in our current cities as well as expanding to new ones.”
