Twitter’s Periscope live-streaming application has a new editor-in-chief: Medium head of content labs Evan Hansen.

Prior to joining Medium in March 2013, Hansen served as editor-in-chief at Wired.com.

Hansen wrote in a Medium post:

Medium keeps evolving and growing, and I’ve been privileged to be here from close to the start. It’s been a fantastic opportunity and challenge, and now I’m thrilled to say I’m poised to take on a new one. I’m joining Periscope as editor-in-chief. I still love the written word and Medium, but I honestly can’t think of many things more exciting than helping build a new platform with mobile phones and real-time video.
