TheStreet ME leaving for Fox News

James Rogers, the managing editor at TheStreet.com for technology coverage, is leaving the financial news site for a job at FoxNews.com.

Rogers will be scitech editor in his new job. His last day at TheStreet is May 30.

“I’ve loved working at TheStreet, and I’ve loved being managing editor, but I am keen to get back to writing and editing about technology, which are my roots,” said Rogers in a phone conversation with Talking Biz News.

Rogers joined TheStreet.com in October 2008 from United Business Media, where he worked as senior editor and news editor of ByteandSwitch.com, covering data storage, networking and security technology.

Rogers also contributed to other UBM Web sites, such as Lightreading.com, as well as InformationWeek magazine. He previously worked as a senior reporter at Computer Weekly magazine, and has written for the Daily Telegraph newspaper, The Press Association, The Liverpool Echo, MLSnet.com, Uefa.com and First Touch magazine.

He has also covered the U.S. military in Afghanistan as an embedded reporter. Rogers graduated from the University of Leeds with a joint honors degree in history and English literature and was a 2014 Strictly Financials Fellow at the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism.
