Josh Tyrangiel is an American journalist and editor of Bloomberg Businessweek. He joined the magazine following its acquisition by Bloomberg L.P. in October 2009. Prior to joining Bloomberg Businessweek, Tyrangiel was deputy managing editor of TIME magazine and managing editor of TIME.com. He also serves as an executive editor of Bloomberg News.

Personal life and education
Tyrangiel attended the University of Pennsylvania and received a master's degree in American Studies from Yale University. He lives in New York City with his wife and daughter.

Professional career
Tyrangiel's career in journalism began at Vibe and Rolling Stone magazines, followed by a stint producing the news at MTV. He began working at TIME in 1999, where he was a deputy managing editor, national editor, and London correspondent. He was also a music critic for TIME from 2001-2009.

In journalistic circles, Tyrangiel was thought to be the successor to Richard Stengel, the editor of TIME, because of his successful efforts expanding TIME.com. During his tenure, Tyrangiel increased website traffic from 400 million page views in 2006 to more than 1.5 billion page views in 2009. In November 2009, Tyrangiel left TIME after he was named editor of Bloomberg Businessweek, which had been newly acquired by Bloomberg L.P. in October of that same year.

Because Tyrangiel did not have a background in business reporting, he was considered a surprising selection for editor of the new Bloomberg Businessweek. Bloomberg L.P., wary that the new Businessweek audience would be limited to Bloomberg Terminal subscribers, hired Tyrangiel to increase the magazine's general business audience, in much the same way he had built a sizeable readership at TIME.com. To cater to this audience, Tyrangiel revised the format of the magazine to include longer, more in-depth content; an example of which being the "Opening Remarks" section that features an essay on the week's most important stories. The magazine also features an updated design, led by creative director Richard Turley, who was hired by Tyrangiel in 2009. The magazine's new design has since been described as a "state-of-the-art magazine design, with highly original and intelligent photos, graphics and illustrations."

Under Tyrangiel's leadership, in 2011, individually paid subscriptions to Bloomberg Businessweek grew nearly 12 percent for the first half of 2011 over 2010 and as of November 2011 advertising pages were up 21 percent year-on-year. Tyrangiel's efforts to "reinvent" BusinessWeek were highly regarded among Bloomberg leadership. According to Adweek, Bloomberg News editor-in-chief, Matthew Winkler, praised Tyrangiel for making the magazine a "must-read" in an increasingly digital media environment.

Awards and honors
In 2011, Tyrangiel was selected as one of the 21 Most Intriguing People in Media by MIN.
