Runnet leaving NAA for Motley Fool
Rob Runett, the NAA's director of electronic media communications, is leaving NAA to join The Motley Fool, an investment and financial planning Web site, as manager of product development. He’ll manage one of the existing subscription-based financial services and become part of the team that dreams up and develops new products.
In the NAA Online Publishing Update e-mail, he says:
I’ve been privileged to work with and learn from hundreds of digital-media professionals since joining NAA in April 1998 as manager of electronic media analysis. Online Publishing Update readers have been sources for Digital Edge articles I’ve written and speakers at CONNECTIONS conferences that I’ve helped coordinate. You’ve enthusiastically entered the annual Edgie Awards competition, shared ideas on the New Media Federation e-forum and sent me leads for Digital Deals and tips for the Update. In July 2003, my new role as director, electronic media communications put me in closer contact with the energetic New Media Federation Board members and passionate Board committees. To all of you, I offer many, many thanks.I’m proud to say that as I leave, New Media Federation membership is looking great (937 members strong) and that newspapers’ online revenue is growing ($2 billion for 2005) along with a rise in the total audience for newspapers’ sites (53.4 million uniques during the fourth quarter of ‘05). Most importantly, I leave knowing that New Media Federation members have positioned themselves to be the sharpest observers of media trends in their organizations, and the people whom publishers will rely on for advice and guidance.
