The Romenesko media report site has a memo noting that Joe Winski has been named the new managing editor of the Americas for Bloomberg News.
Al Hunt, executive editor for Washington, wrote in the memo, “I am delighted to tell you that Joe Winski has been named Managing Editor for the Americas. He will live in Washington and spend a couple days here and the rest in New York and elsewhere.
“Mark McQuillan will replace Joe as Washington bureau chief.
“These are two of the most talented journalists that I have worked with, here or elsewhere. Joe Winski has been the glue that holds this bureau together, the resident expert on the Bloomberg way, a superb editor with terrific judgment. He will be much missed in his current role though having him here and working with us in his new role is a great bonus.
“To replace Joe, Mark was the first, second and third choice. There is no better editor at Bloomberg, he too is versed in this news organization’s history and culture and shares Joe’s talent to inspire other reporters and editors.”
Read the memo here. A UNC intern has worked in the Washington bureau in each of the past three years, and each of them, including the current intern, speaks highly of Joe and Mark.
Before being DC bureau chief, Winski was Bloomberg’s Chicago bureau chief.
