Jai Singh, most recently managing editor of the Huffington Post Media Group, has joined Yahoo as editor-in-chief of its media network. In that newly- created role, he will "help transform the company
as it increases its original content creation, build the unique voice and programming of Yahoo's leading properties, and help drive best-in-class tools and practices," according to a
Yahoo statement. Singh will report to Mickie Rosen, senior VP of the Yahoo Media Network. At
HuffPo/AOL, where he's been since 2009, Singh was in charge of all day-to-day news management and editorial operations. He will start with Yahoo May 31. In the same release, Yahoo noted that its royal
wedding coverage last Friday generated 400 million page views, a higher traffic level than the Japanese earthquake.
