Dan Roth, Executive Editor, LinkedIn

There was certainly plenty of executive movement within the media industry over the past year. One story B-to-b publishers will undoubtedly keep a close watch on is Dan Roth’s move from Time Inc. as Fortune digital editor to his current role as executive editor at LinkedIn. With the goal of turning the professional online networking powerhouse into a complete media company, Roth’s first task is to help shape “LinkedIn Today,” a service that lets users share and recommend stories, as well as feedback, with their friends/associates. “What we’re doing with ‘LinkedIn Today’ is finding a way to bring the most relevant professional news to the most relevant professionals – on a massive scale.”

What will be intriguing in 2012? “Next year, you’re going to see this kind of social influence really changing journalism. Every story is a work in progress: as it gets shared, new insights emerge that should be folded back into the piece.”
