/ˌtrænsfərˈmeɪʃən/ n. 1: a process of change from one form to another.

This is a place about me and my profession: journalism.  Both are in transformation.  I've worked on television, online and in print, and now help build the digital news of the future.  It is uncharted territory, ripe for experimentation, and that's what makes this work exciting each day.

 Anthony Moor is Director of Editorial Operations at Yahoo! in Sunnyvale, California, the media network's leader for product and platform innovation.

Working for the editor-in-chief, he helps conceive and direct editorial strategy and operations for the U.S. Media Network.

Previously, Moor led the company's local news efforts as Managing Editor.  In Nov. 2011, his team launched its first comprehensive Yahoo local news and information experience (in beta) for the United States.

Moor served as Deputy Managing Editor/Interactive at The Dallas Morning News. In 2008 the site was honored with RTNDA’s Edward R. Murrow Award as best non-broadcast Web site.

Moor 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.

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 has served on the board of the Online News Association where he directed the Online Journalism Awards and was a director of 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!
