SPECIAL to SABEW
Glenn Hall, a member of SABEW’s Board of Governors, has been named the new editor of MarketWatch, Dow Jones has announced.
Hall, a veteran business journalist, has been managing editor for news at the start-up website TheBlaze.com, where he has served as managing editor since July 2012.
Hall replaces Jonathan Krim, recently appointed global technology editor for The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones.
Hall previously was editor-in-chief of TheStreet.com and prior to that worked at Bloomberg News for a decade. At Bloomberg, he led political and government coverage in Washington, D.C., and held various leadership positions. He was Bloomberg’s Amsterdam bureau chief and its deputy bureau chief in Frankfurt, where he started as a reporter.
“Glenn is exceptionally well prepared to lead MarketWatch,” said Gerard Baker, editor-in-chief of Dow Jones and managing editor for The Wall Street Journal. “He’s knows markets through and through, and he’s worked almost his entire career in electronic or web journalism.”
