VentureBeat editor Tweney steps down

VentureBeat editor in chief Dylan Tweney has stepped down from the top spot and will become an editor at large.

He writes, “Starting this week, I’ll step down from the editor-in-chief role and become VentureBeat’s editor at large. I’ll continue writing my column, producing our podcast, and contributing to our news coverage and news analysis as needed. And I will advise VB as it moves forward into its next chapter.

“In the meantime, Harrison Weber, who has been doing a kick-ass job as our news editor for the past year, will act as our executive editor. Jennifer Tsao will continue keeping the trains running on time as our managing editor for VB, while Jason Wilson will continue overseeing GamesBeat.

“In short, little will change. Our dedication to principled journalism and our passion for technology continues. And I’ll still be here, telling those tech stories and looking for the next big thing.”
