WSJ editor joins Bloomberg Businessweek

Aaron Rutkoff, who runs the WSJ “Metropolis” blog and edits stories for the Greater New York section, is headed to Bloomberg Businessweek, a magazine spokeswoman confirmed to Talking Biz News on Friday morning.

He will be working on the magazine’s website operation. Longtime Businessweek.com editor Dan Beucke, who for the last several years worked on the website, left the magazine in March to become deputy business editor of the Orange County Register.

Rutkoff previously edited WSJ.com’s homepage, covered political advertising during the 2008 presidential election and wrote a column about Internet culture. He was a reporter and editor for the Queens Tribune before joining The Journal.

Rutkoff, who joined the Journal in 2005, was born in Highland Park, Ill., and attended Wesleyan University.
