About Anthony Galloway:
Anthony Galloway is a broadcast-turned-digital media executive with over 20 years of experience as a journalist and newsroom leader who has successfully driven innovation and growth at global media companies. Galloway joins Yahoo Finance after serving in senior executive roles at The Wall Street Journal, CBS News, Condé Nast and VICE Media, following a nearly 15-year run at NBC News.
At The Wall Street Journal, Galloway was chief content officer of editorial video, audio and voice programming. In this masthead position, Galloway led production teams across six bureaus on three continents to produce daily news, feature and long-form documentary programming for the company's digital video, social media, streaming and podcasting platforms. Galloway led the group to double the organization's video viewership and podcast audience, earning the organization's first national Emmy Award and serving as part of a cross-platform reporting team that won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting. Galloway was the editorial lead for the WSJ's partnerships with YouTube, Google and Twitter, and he helped develop the organization's first streaming television projects with Netflix and AppleTV+, as well as a daily podcast with Spotify's Gimlet Media.
More recently, Galloway served as senior vice president of CBS News 24/7, the first-to-market streaming news channel from CBS News and Stations. He oversaw day-to-day programming and production on the globally distributed news channel. During his tenure, Galloway reinvented, developed and launched new programs and executed a breaking news-first strategy that drove double-digit viewership and revenue growth while upholding high journalistic standards that led to the streaming channel’s first Emmy nomination in its 10-year history.
Before his time at CBS and the Journal, Galloway was vice president of digital video programming at Condé Nast Entertainment, where he was tasked with re-envisioning more than 20 legacy magazine titles for a digital video world. Galloway held a similar role at VICE Media where, as executive producer of mobile content, he launched a new daily digital show, “Daily VICE,” and serialized mobile-first franchises for each of VICE’s verticals.
Galloway grew his career at NBC News, spending nearly 15 years at the network’s New York headquarters and Burbank bureau. Galloway had the opportunity to travel with anchors Ann Curry and Lester Holt for globe-spanning reports from Colorado to South Africa, served as an interim senior show producer for NBC Nightly News, launched innovative digital platforms, produced hour and two-hour-long documentaries for Dateline, and oversaw live coverage during primetime news specials. Galloway’s reporting led the network’s evening newscast during the 2008 financial crisis and, in a critical moment, Galloway served as a lead producer during the 2009 U.S. Airways plane crash dubbed “Miracle on the Hudson” — a reporting effort that earned an Emmy Award for outstanding breaking news coverage.
Galloway is a graduate of the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Journalism, where he was part of a group that launched the university’s first daily newscast. A native of Southern California, Galloway now resides in New York.
