Will Tacy Named Newsweek.com Editorial Director

Newsweek has tapped Will Tacy to be executive producer and editorial director for Newsweek.com. Tacy was the managing editor, digital for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. He has also worked for the New York Times and Mother Jones. Earlier this week, Minnpost.com reported that Tacy was given a buyout by the Star Tribune. According to Tacy, though he may have been listed with departing staff, the paper was already aware of his departure and he was never formally offered a buyout package.

Tacy’s appointment at Newsweek is part of what Geoff Reiss, the managing editor of Newsweek’s Digital Group, describes as a major ongoing initiative to “update” the 75 year-old brand.
