Thomson Reuters re-hires former manager as digital chief

Schwartz, who returns from Rolling Stone publisher Wenner Media where he was that company’s first chief digital officer, “will develop strategic relationships that will expand Reuters Media’s offerings to ensure the company continues to provide media clients and digital consumers with the most comprehensive and agenda setting news coverage,” the company said on Wednesday. “This will further enhance Reuters’ ability to provide newsrooms globally with highly tailored news solutions enabling them to increase their efficiency, reduce costs and drive revenue.”

Schwartz held posts at Readers’ Digest and the NewsMarket after leaving Reuters in January 2006. During his three years at Reuters he managed the company’s digital media business. ■
