Yahoo Media Group Shakeup: Scott Moore and Alan Warms To Leave: Report
This story was written by Rafat Ali.
This had been cueing up for a few months now: Yahoo's media group head Scott Moore and head of Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) News Alan Warms may be leaving, according to a report by Kara Swisher. The departures will be announced internally this week, and now word on where they are going. Moore came from MSN, while Warms came into Yahoo through the acquisition of Buzztracker, his company. Moore might have some plans to start his own company, the report says.
These departures come after Yahoo announced laying off about 1,500 employees late last month. Yahoo's media group has some of the biggest online media sites in its portfolio: News, Finance and Sports, and has been among the few bright spots in the beleaguered company.
We spoke to Moore after this report, and he wouldn't comment on it. Warms' not yet reachable.
More to come
