Murdoch’s Daily Loses Jon Ward to HuffPo
The Daily only launched a month ago, but one of its staffers, political journalist Jon Ward, is already jumping ship for The Huffington Post. He’s one of six new hires, along with Yahoo media reporter Michael Calderone.
Ward’s defection is something of a reversal for the News Corp. tablet paper, which raided a number of media outlets to staff up for its February launch. At HuffPo, Ward will be a senior political reporter.
The new hires at HuffPo are the first since it was bought by AOL.
