NY Post biz section losing staff

Jeff Bercovici of Conde Nast Portfolio that two top business reporters from the New York Post are leaving the paper for other jobs.

Bercovici wrote, “Roddy Boyd, who covers Wall Street, is heading to Fortune (following the path of media beat writer Tim Arango, who made the same jump a year ago), while Janet Whitman will become a U.S.-based business correspondent for Canada’s National Post.

“Their departures follow hard upon the abrupt exit of Dan Colarusso, who edited the business section for two years before moving over to metro in January. Highly regarded by his subordinates, Colarusso walked off the job last week. “His frustration had been building for a while,” says a former Post staffer.

“With former Star magazine editor Sean Gannon now running the section, and with News Corp. expected to transfer top talents to The Wall Street Journal, ‘it’s the end of an era,’ adds the ex-staffer.”
