News: YouTube hired a music editor, Michele Ktel, to help manage YouTube’s growing music presence. Here’s how she described her new position: “I’ll be working hard to make sure that YouTube is the music destination you expect it to be, and I’ll be launching a few new channels to make it even easier for music fans to track down their favorite videos and discover new ones (with plans to include a few highly original sock-monkey serenades). Think of me as the one-stop-record-shop for YouTube’s music community.” You can email her at music@youtube.com. (More)
