Cosmo Leaving the Herald

Here's a serious loss at One Herald Square. Cosmo Macero Jr.,39, the assistant managing editor for Business and a nine-year veteran of the Herald, will be leaving the paper next month. Macero has been a major player at the tabloid and publisher Pat Purcell has frequently lauded the performance of his Business pages, even as the publisher has had to make cutbacks across his news gathering operation. Here's something Macero sent via email explaining his decision to go work at O'Neill and Associates as vice president of the company's communications group.

"This place is in my blood. And I'm especially proud of what we have accomplished over the past 18 months with Business Today. But life takes you in different directions, and I've made the decision to try something new. It will also give me some more time and flexibility to be a better contributor around our household. I've got a 3-year-old son, and my wife is growing a business of her own that commands time and attention."
