Joanne Lipman, former editor-in-chief of Conde Nast Portfolio and Portfolio.com, has been appointed chief content officer at Gannett Co.
Lipman, an author and award-winning news executive, joined Condé Nast in 2005 and served as editor-in-chief of the publisher's giant-sized financial magazine Condé Nast Portfolio, which folded in 2009 after two years.
Prior to her tenure at Condé Nast, Lipman worked at The Wall Street Journal for 22 years, where she became the first female deputy managing editor in that company's history, and was responsible for the creation of its Weekend Journal and Personal Journal publications. She’s the co-author of the memoir “Strings Attached: One Tough Teacher and the Gift of Great Expectations,” published by Hyperion, and has served as a judge for the Pulitzer Prize and National Magazine Awards.
At Gannett, Lipman will be responsible for overseeing all content and content related business development operations. It's a new position created by the McLean, VA-based newspaper giant, which publishes USA Today. She’ll report to Gannett president and CEO Robert J. Dickey.
Gannett also announced the hiring of Daniel Bernard, former head of product for Time Inc., as its newest chief product officer.
Bernard was formerly chief product officer for The Wall Street Journal Digital Network and general manager of The Wall Street Journal Online. He previously served as VP and global head of advertising development and product design for Reuters, and was director of marketing and advertising development for CBS MarketWatch.
Earlier this year, Gannett divided its print and broadcast/digital properties into two separate divisions, with the latter forming an independent, publicly traded company titled TEGNA, while its newspaper and publishing arm retained the Gannett moniker.
Gannett in October also bought Journal Media Group, publisher of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, for a reported $280 million, achieving a foothold in more than 100 regional markets in the U.S.
