This might be a stupid question, but how is an investigation by a board member & a senior executive "independent"? https://t.co/sWH3Gq9sLl

In some cases, there’s things that aren’t even measurable. Like maybe just having tech, edit, and business teams communicating effectively, is more important. The lines might be more important than the dots.

Jezebel Founder Anna Holmes Joins Fusion
Fusion CEO Isaac Lee today announced to the staff that Anna Holmes, founder of Jezebel, is joining Fusion as Editor of Digital Voices and Storytelling.
Re/code's Peter Kafka spoke to Anna about why she is making the jump to Fusion:
Anna Holmes: Fusion is a cable channel, and they want to supplement it with really great stuff on the digital end. And because of the fact that their audience is made up mostly of millennials, and because they consume stories and the news in ways that are much different than their parents, or even my generation, we want to attract them using the tools that they’re already using themselves, in terms of telling and consuming stories. So that means not just the Internet broadly, but Twitter and Vine and Facebook and Instagram and Tumblr and so on.
The idea is to build the brand among that demographic. Which is not only younger than me, but also much more diverse than my generation. Which is really important to me. Because one of my frustrations for decades now has been that media didn’t reflect the world that I saw around me — the kind of ethnic diversity that is only becoming more prominent in the U.S..
This is the latest hire the network has made to its digital and social media teams in recent weeks – YouTube and Upworthy veteran Hong Qu joined Fusion as Chief Technology Officer; renowned blogger Felix Salmon named Senior Editor; Mariana Santos to oversee interactive storytelling unit; Danilo Lauria to lead micro-video efforts; Margarita Noriega to oversee social media efforts.
Below is some of the reaction.
First @felixsalmon and now @AnnaHolmes. I'm not sure what @ThisIsFusion is up to but I'm sure it'll be interesting. http://t.co/4mY1sFkTxH
