Anthony Moor is Lead Local Editor at Yahoo! in Sunnyvale, California. In that role he is helping to build out the company's local news capabilities.
Previously, he served as Deputy Managing Editor/Interactive at The Dallas Morning News where he helped grow dallasnews.com traffic 186% in two years. In 2008 the site was honored with RTNDA’s Edward R. Murrow Award as best non-broadcast Web site.
He was editor of OrlandoSentinel.com, a 2007 Knight-Batten Award for Innovation winner and 2006 Online News Association general excellence finalist.
Prior to that he was New Media Editor at the Rochester (NY) Democrat and Chronicle, where he devised the paper’s convergence strategy and won a 2003 OJA for creative use of the medium.
Mr. Moor developed an interest in interactive media at San Francisco’s KRON-TV during the dot-com boom, while covering ventures with names such as RealAudio, Hotwired, Quokka and PointCast.
The lure of the Internet startup eventually enticed him to join a broadband business news pioneer called On24, as a financial correspondent. Although that company’s aspirations deflated with the rest of the bubble, Mr. Moor’s commitment to digital news only increased.
In his early career, Mr. Moor was an investigative reporter in Buffalo and state capitol bureau chief in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He spent two years in Tokyo working variously at the ABC News and CNN bureaus.
Mr. Moor serves on the boards of the Online News Association and ASNE, the American Society of News Editors. He holds a degree in Astrophysics and American Civilization from Williams College. And he's been on Oprah -- although not for any professional reason!
