Larry Avila, the new business editor of the Times of Northwest Indiana, wants its coverage to focus on local businesses, writes Giles Bruce of the paper.
Bruce writes, “Avila is the Times’ new business editor, having started June 19. He replaces Keith Benman, who took a job as a TV news reporter in upstate New York.
“In his new role, Avila will oversee a staff of three reporters who write for The Times’ award-winning business section (which appears in the paper every day but Saturday and Monday), as well as IN Business magazine.
“‘Keith Benman’s departure left big shoes to fill, and we conducted a search for a top business editor. We’re pleased that Larry Avila, from our sister paper in Madison, Wisconsin, joined our staff,’ said Bob Heisse, editor of The Times. ‘Larry has a strong business editing and reporting background and has already moved to the Region. We look forward to the business community getting to know him.'”
