Frank De Maria, VP of corporate communications for embattled Newsweek, is moving to the NASDAQ OMX Group lead global PR and corporate comms.
He will take the slot vacated by Bethany Sherman, who joined Dow Jones & Co. as its chief communications officer in March.
De Maria, who is slated to take the senior VP of global corporate comms. title at NASDAQ on June 21, guided Newsweek’s PR through its print and digital re-launch in 2009 in two years there.
The Washington Post Company has been soliciting offers for the unprofitable magazine, which lost $28.1M last year.
De Maria was previously head of global media relations at Thomas Reuters and, earlier, at Reuters before its acquisition by Thomson Corp.
He worked on the agency side at Brunswick Group.
