Goodman, Global Editor-in-Chief of International Business Times. "He immediately elevates our long-form feature work and will allow us to start telling stories in increasingly engaging and sophisticated fashion."
Davis will work on the business team as Financial Writer covering Wall Street and its connections to everyday financial concerns like retirement planning, paying for college and securing housing. Davis previously was a researcher at Rolling Stone and his work has appeared in The Nation, Salon, Jacobin, AlterNet, Truthout, Waging Nonviolence and The Indypendent.
Stangler joins the business team as Staff Writer covering labor and the workplace, focusing on the changing nature of the workplace and how people earn a living.

"Our business team is emerging as a real center of activity with a staff that has doubled in the past six months alone," added Goodman. "Owen's coverage is going to demystify finance in a way that's accessible to a general audience while Cole will delve into the changing labor landscape."
