ThomsonReuters shutting HedgeWorld

Kaja Whitehouse of the New York Post reports Monday that ThomsonReuters is closing its HedgeWorld magazine after nine years of publication.

Whitehouse writes, “The publishing and financial-data powerhouse on Thursday morning told News Director Kristin Fox and her team of roughly 10 reporters and editors, as well as a handful of technology and sales staff, to pack up their desks, according to several people familiar with the situation.

“‘As far as I know, the entire HedgeWorld team is no longer, as of Aug. 15,’ said one employee, who asked not to be identified.

“It was unclear whether HedgeWorld would continue to exist in a different format.

“HedgeWorld was started in 1999 and publishes a monthly magazine, several newsletters and Web site hedgeworld.com.”
