"News consumption service Circa announced today that it has hired Anthony De Rosa, currently Social Media Editor for Reuters, as its new Editor in Chief.\r\n\r\nDe Rosa is expected to join the company in June and will help the existing editorial team \u201Cpush the boundaries\u201D of the content being showcased throughout its mobile\u00A0apps.\r\n\r\n\u201CThere\u2019s a huge opportunity to present news in a way that\u2019s made for mobile,\u201D De Rosa said. \u201CNobody is thinking about this more than Circa and I\u2019m thrilled to help move that mission forward.\u00A0Matt and David have a proven record of success and I feel like we have a shared vision for transforming the traditional article format.\u201D\r\n\r\nCirca launched its iOS app last October, giving users a new way to read the news and track breaking stories as they develop. Articles are broken down into only the most essential paragraphs, quotes and images, giving readers a quick and more accessible way of consuming the latest headlines.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe company has been developing its app over the last seven months or so, overhauling the design and adding crucial new sharing functionality. Most recently, Circa updated the \u2018My Followed Stories\u2019 section of its iOS app, making it easier for users to add and grab the stories they want to monitor.\r\n\r\nAn Android app is currently in development and is expected to launch later this year.\r\n\r\nCirca says De Rosa will be joining David Cohn, the firm\u2019s new Director of News, as well as 11 contributing editors next month. It follows the appointment of Nicholas Deleon as lead technology editor last December.\r\n\r\nCirca has a long way to go before it can rival the success of Flipboard and Instapaper. It\u2019s still early days for the startup though, and its approach to news consumption is innovative enough that it stands a good chance of attracting a critical mass of users.\r\n\r\nImage Credit:\u00A0Ye Aung Thu/AFP/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
