Another editor leaves Reuters Digital

US website BuzzFeed said he would be named today as executive producer of ABC News Digital, overseeing editorial and video operations across all of ABCNews.com.

“Norton is the latest in a string of high level editorial defections to hit Reuters,” it said. At Reuters he worked under the direction of Dan Colarusso, who himself was appointed executive editor of Reuter Digital only last week.

Prior to joining Reuters, Norton oversaw The New York Post’s website. He was a business reporter for The Wall Street Journal throughout the 1990s. ■
