As U.K. Papers Wage War for America, MEC Exec Eamon Store Named CEO of Guardian U.S.
Posted in: Uncategorized
London-based Guardian News and Media has named Eamon Store the CEO of its U.S. operation, the company said Tuesday afternoon. He joins the Guardian from media agency MEC, where he was most recently president of agency development.
The Guardian also said it will open a West Coast office.
The Guardian has been trying to gain a foothold in the U.S. since at least 2006, when it hired Michael Kinsley as its American editor at large. It rolled out a new U.S. homepage in 2011 and a year later raided Salon.com for columnist Glenn Greenwald, who later broke the story about NSA surveillance with the help of former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden. The scoop led to its biggest traffic day from U.S. readers, it said.
