Carl DiOrio has been promoted to editor of Daily Variety sister publications Video Business and DVD Exclusive, effective immediately.

DiOrio, a former business editor and box office analyst for Variety who joined Video Business/DVD Exclusive last April as executive editor, replaces longtime editor Marcy Magiera, who is stepping down to spend more time with her family.

He will report to Video Business/DVD Exclusive editor in chief Scott Hettrick, who is also Daily Variety's home entertainment editor.

Prior to joining Variety in 2000, DiOrio was the editor of Creative Planet's Web portal TVIndustry.com and was business editor of the Hollywood Reporter. DiOrio will now have primary day-to-day responsibility for all editorial content.

Magiera, who joined Video Business in 1994, has been named to the new position of senior contributing editor, focusing on the development of custom publications and the strategic opportunities of special issues, research and electronic services.
