Reuters hires Bloomberg editor to head TV programming

Dan Colarusso, who has held top editorial posts at the New York Post, Condé Nast’s Portfolio and briefly at Business Insider, is joining as global head of programming from Bloomberg Television where he was managing editor.

Both companies are trying to expand their video reach to a more general business audience while continuing to jockey for position among Wall Street traders and firms. Last year, Reuters introduced a video on demand option for its subscribers called Reuters Insider. Colarusso will take over responsibility for it and will report directly to Chrystia Freeland, editor of Thomson Reuters Digital. He replaces Chris Cramer, who will become editor at large and will focus on several key projects as Reuters expands its multimedia focus. ■
