Yahoo’s editor-in-chief Jai Singh quits

yahooWashington, Jan 18: Yahoo’s editor-in-chief Jai Singh has quit the internet firm, simply every day when CEO Marissa Mayer laid-off her COO Henrique DE Castro, according to independent tech news site Re/code.

Yahoo’s media unit can currently be led by Chief selling Officer Kathy Savitt, said Re/code, citing an internal memorandum.

It was not clear what prompted Singh’s exit from Yahoo, according to the report.

Singh began working at Yahoo in 2011.

A Yahoo spokesperson confirmed the news with TechCrunch, another tech news site.

“Appointing a selling person to be in charge of editorial is probably enough of a reason for several journalists to run screaming from the building,” Re/code said.

In addition, Re/code citing sources said that “media product head SVP of Homepage and Verticals microphone Kerns – who is very well likable internally, though not a media EXEC intrinsically – can currently be the boss of each Ken physicist, head of amusement, games and sports and Rob Barrett, who helms news and finance.”

The well-regarded Singh found out Yahoo from his editor position at Huffington Post in mid-2011. before that, he created CNET News.com in 1996.

While the firing of Henrique DE socialist came with huge money potential, it’s not clear that Singh’s departure can price the corporate a lot of financially, TechCrunch said.

“Yahoo has spent bundle to rent mass-market talent like tech journalist David Pogue and media personality Katie Couric. big money those hires failed to suit Singh,” it said.

It is more likely that Yahoo’s new direction below Mayer did not suit Singh, or he was created internally redundant, it said.
