In his new role, Moore will build an editorial team. He plans to develop multi-platform original series and written editorial content, with a focus on social and political issues and cultural trends impacting young people.
“MTV News has a longstanding legacy of being at the forefront of youth culture,” Moore tells Billboard. “And now more than ever, those young voices matter. My personal passion has always been giving emerging talent a platform to tell their stories. Pairing that with our decades of pop culture history, I’m so excited to work alongside Sarah to uphold our legacy and expand our digital efforts.”
