Industry Moves: Barrons.com Shuffles Editors; Yahoo Finance's Bartalos Returns As Site Editor
This story was written by David Kaplan.
Barrons.com is making a few changes at the top of its masthead, saying it wants to better focus its operations. Randall Forsyth is being upped to editor-in-chief of Barrons.com, from editor of the site. He'll still write his two columns, Up and Down Wall Street Daily and the weekly Current Yield, which appears in the print edition. In his place as editor, Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) Finance's Greg Bartalos is returning to the company. Bartalos was most recently assistant managing editor of Yahoo Finance. He went left Barrons.com for that post two years ago, after serving as senior editor of the Dow Jones-owned financial news site. In addition to overseeing the site's editorial content, Bartalos will also work on building Barrons.com's community features. He is also charged with striking content deals with other sites. John Kimelman, managing editor of Barrons.com, has been promoted to executive editor, and will report to Bartalos. A Barrons rep said there were no layoffs resulting from these staffing changes.
