Title: Dana quits NY Observer to join NY Times
Posted By: Jim Romenesko
 
Memo to New York Times staff

From: Larry Ingrassia
Date: Dec 28, 2006 1:51 PM
Subject: Rebecca Dana joining Business Day

I'm pleased to say that Rebecca Dana, the television reporter at the New York Observer, is joining Business Day to cover emerging media.

In this new beat, Rebecca will write about all aspects of the digital media world, and how it is changing the media landscape. She will search out the architects of the new media infrastructure, the people who are creating the next Googles and MySpaces that will turn old business models on their heads.

At the Observer over the past couple of years, Rebecca has made a mark as a reporter who can break news – not easy on a weekly – and do smart, analytical enterprise about the major trends sweeping the industry and profiles about some of the interesting players.

Before joining the Observer in January 2005, Rebecca was a reporter in
the style and metro sections of the Washington Post. (In coming to Business Day, she'll be reunited with her former Post colleague Michael
Barbaro.)

Rebecca graduated from Yale with a bachelor's degree in history degree
in 2004. While there, she was editor of the Yale Daily News and was a
research assistant to humanities professor and literary critic Harold Bloom. She's also had internships at the Times-Picayune in New Orleans in 2002 and at The Times in Hartford in 2001.

Rebecca will start on Monday, Jan. 29. Join me in welcoming her to The Times.
