The Houston Business Journal hired Mark Yost as its newest reporter, charged with covering lending, funding, financial institutions and all related areas.
A story on its website states, “Yost has more than 20 years of journalism experience all over the world, including the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires. He hails from Brooklyn, though he has lived in Houston for the past year.

“In addition, Yost will also cover law firms for the award-winning news organization.
“‘Houston is the hottest market in the country right now,’ Yost noted. ‘It’s a great time to be covering a vibrant and diversified economy that touches nearly every corner of the world but hasn’t lost its Texas twang.'”
