Yahoo! News Names New Editor in Chief

Yahoo! today announced Hillary Frey as Editor in Chief of Yahoo! News, and Aaron Task as Editor in Chief of Yahoo! Finance.  In her new role, says a release, Frey will be responsible for the continued expansion and promotion of  “original content, developing new franchises and recruiting new talent.”

Frey is a former Politico CLICK Editor, but we won’t hold that against her too much.

In her new role, she will oversee the on-going evolution of the Yahoo! News newsroom, and work closely with premier media partner ABC News to further enhance their alliance on major news events.
