Jon Steinberg, the former COO of BuzzFeed, has a new job: He is running the American version of the U.K.-based Daily Mail’s enormous website, formally known as MailOnline. Steinberg had worked at BuzzFeed for four years, and reportedly left after BuzzFeed CEO and founder Jonah Peretti decided not to sell his company to Disney. You can read more about MailOnline’s moves into the U.S. here; the New Yorker had profiled the site and the paper in 2012.
