A memo from Bloomberg Media Group CEO Justin B. Smith says Josh Tyrangiel “is proving there is little he cannot take on” while he and Smith craft a “new direction for Bloomberg Media.”
Tyrangiel will “be the editorial lead for everything we do from magazines to TV to radio, digital and live events and continue to oversee Bloomberg News’s Projects team and the Data Viz and Rankings teams,” Smith writes. The announcement “is long overdue as Josh has unofficially been playing this role for some time.”
Full memo:
As you know, Josh Tyrangiel has been working around the clock as my partner in leading our new direction for Bloomberg Media. He has taken the helm at Bloomberg TV and led the development of our new digital-first brands, all while continuing to oversee Bloomberg Businessweek and the Projects & Investigations team at Bloomberg News (which by the way are stronger than ever).
Josh is proving there is little he cannot take on. His editorial vision, sensibility and ability to attract and retain the best in the business represent the essential ingredients for our success.
So this decision was a no-brainer. Josh is being elevated to oversee all content across our consumer media platforms. He will be the editorial lead for everything we do from magazines to TV to radio, digital and live events and continue to oversee Bloomberg News’s Projects team and the Data Viz and Rankings teams. He will report to Reto Gregori and myself and remain the key editorial bridge between News and Media.
Those following our work closely will appreciate that this announcement is long overdue as Josh has unofficially been playing this role for some time.
Please join me in congratulating him.
Justin
