"In just a few months, Tara has combined three disparate
newsrooms into a single 24-7 digital powerhouse, with reporters in
Europe, Asia and across the U.S.," said David Callaway, CEO of TheStreet, Inc. "She is a
transformational editor coming to us at just the right time as we
combine our news products into an elite financial news and data

established herself as one of the foremost business editors of our
era. Her grasp of news and analysis, knowledge of what moves a
stock and why, and perception of what daily events will propel the
markets is unparalleled. She's simply the best."
Prior to joining TheStreet, Murphy was the president of KATYA
Inc., an online women's apparel company. She had previously served
as director of business development at Hearst Digital Media as well

six years at Forbes, where she served as senior anchor of the
Forbes.com Video Network. Tara was formerly a staff reporter at
TheStreet.com, and she began her professional career in U.S.
institutional equity sales at Merrill Lynch in New York.
"The opportunity to lead TheStreet's editorial operations at
this exciting time in its evolution is truly an honor," Murphy
said. "It is a storied brand in financial news and information that

For me, this is a very happy return to a newsroom I always
loved."
