Hillary Frey Named Yahoo News Editor in Chief

Former 'Adweek' staffer promises to make portal's content less bloggy

Yahoo just can't seem to stay out of the news this week. On Wednesday (July 18) it announced Hillary Frey will take the reins as editor in chief of Yahoo News after nearly a year with the company. Frey was named managing editor of Yahoo News in October 2011 after roughly a year at Adweek, where she helped relaunch the magazine as managing editor under former editor in chief Michael Wolff.

Along with Frey's promotion, Yahoo also announced that Aaron Task has been named editor in chief of Yahoo Finance.
