Two editors, both Pulitzer winners, leaving Bloomberg

Two senior editors at Bloomberg who have won Pulitzer Prizes, Clark Hoyt and Manuela Hoelterhoff, are leaving the company, reports Hadas Gold of Politico.

Gold writes, “Hoyt, whose departure was announced Monday morning in a memo from senior executive editor Marty Schenker, was appointed independent senior editor in 2013. He had been with Bloomberg since 2010, working as a senior advisor to the CEO and as an editor-at-large. Prior to Bloomberg, he served three years as public editor of The New York Times, and spent 38 years with Knight Ridder newspapers.

“‘Clark Hoyt has decided to hang ‘em up, as they say,’ Schenker wrote in a memo to staff on Monday, concluding it with: ‘As Clark departs the stage at Bloomberg, we can’t say enough about his professionalism, patience, counsel and companionship. We wish him the best in whatever comes next, which we hope is a lot of time with his family and friends, doing whatever comes to mind. He’s earned it.’

“Hoelterhoff, whose departure was announced in a memo on Friday from editor-in-chief John Micklethwait, had been with Bloomberg since 2004 as global cities editor. Both she and Hoyt are Pulitzer-prize winners.”
