BREITBART.COM ANNOUNCES NEW CHAIRMAN AND CEO


Steve Bannon - The new Chairman of Breitbart.com

Some major news about the future of Breitbart.com comes from TheWrap.com

Breitbart News Network named a new CEO and Chairman on Monday, filling in the leadership gap created by the death of founder Andrew Breitbart.


Stephen Bannon (pictured above), already a board member, will take over as Chairman. Laurence Solov, COO, will take over as CEO and President.

"Andrew and I were like brothers our whole lives and have been business partners since 2007," Solov said in a statement. "Andrew possessed a very specific vision of what he wanted our company to become. I share that vision, which the company will pursue relentlessly.

Joel Pollak, the company's legal counsel, will continue as editor in chief of Breitbart.com, which relaunched three days after Breitbart’s sudden death on March 1. Pollak described the timing as a terrible irony.
