Tyrangiel, ex-Bloomberg Businessweek editor, likely to land at Vice

Alexandra Steigrad of Women’s Wear Daily writes that Josh Tyrangiel, who left his position as editor of Bloomberg Businessweek two weeks ago, is likely to join Vice Media.

Steigrad writes, “Tyrangiel is said to be heading up Vice’s daily newscast for HBO, which is set to launch during the fourth quarter —basically now. Vice, which isn’t exactly known for its Bloomberg-ian efficiency, did not comment on Tyrangiel’s new job. Tyrangiel could not be reached for comment.

“In March, Vice inked a deal with HBO that would not only extend its weekly documentary series, but also add a 30-minute newscast that would run 48 weeks a year.

“Vice has been in the process of broadening its reach in new areas, which include politics, business, luxury and women-centric content. Although Tyrangiel won’t likely help much in that last category, his past experience at Bloomberg, where he helped shape business, political and luxury media products, will likely lend some weight to Vice’s programming.

“Vice, which launched a somewhat off brand Millennial-centric personal finance program sponsored by Bank of America called ‘The Business of Life,’ could likely use Tyrangiel’s help.”
