Associated Press business editor Hal Ritter sent out the following announcement on Thursday:
Europe business editor Phill Tutt is leaving us to join CNBC.com as deputy managing editor, international. He’ll be staying in London and will oversee the website’s coverage of Europe and Asia.
Phill joined us while Europe’s debt crisis was raging and oversaw coverage of landmark decisions by the European Central Bank and European Union throughout 2012. His good ideas, strong editing and general steady hand during the tumult have been much appreciated.
Please join us in wishing him the best in his new job.
