Yahoo Autos News: New Editors emerged at Yahoo Autos

Came across this recent development on Yahoo Autos. I heard that the Yahoo Autos Blog now has new editors. Read the excerpts of what is trending online on Yahoo Autos below;
"The Truth About Cars isn’t the only online auto publication to bid farewell/say hello to editors today, as Yahoo Autos and Autoblog have done the same.

First off, now-former Autoblog editor Sharon Carty has taken the role of editor-in-chief of Yahoo Autos, where she will lend her extensive industry and digital media experiences to the search engine’s latest digital magazine. Carty’s industry career began in 2002, and has included stories such as the bankruptcies of General Motors and Chrysler, the emerging Southeast Asia automotive markets, and Toyota’s unintended acceleration woes.

Meanwhile, Autoblog‘s new editor-in-chief is Michael Austin, whose industry career began with Automobile magazine in 1999. Since then, Austin has worked in editorial for Car and Driver and Popular Mechanics, and was also employed at PR firm Tiny Toy Car – founded by former Jalopnik editor Ray Wert – as its director of creative strategy."

Sharon Carty Named Editor of Yahoo Autos

Yahoo has named Sharon Carty editor-in-chief of its recently launched, single-focus site Yahoo Autos. Carty comes to Yahoo from AOL, where she served as editor-in-chief of Autoblog. Carty has covered the auto industry since 2002.

Carty will lead a Yahoo Autos team that already includes managing editor Justin Hyde, editor-at-large Alex Lloyd and road test editor Aki Sugawara.

“We continue to add dynamic editors to our growing digital magazines and we’re thrilled to have Sharon Carty join the Yahoo Autos team,” said Susan Kittenplan, VP and executive editor of Yahoo’s new media initiatives, in a blog post. “Sharon’s deep experience in the auto industry coupled with her background in digital media makes her a perfect leader for the team.”
