Greg Jefferson is the new business editor at the San Antonio Express-News.

He replaces Dawn Kopecki, who left last year for a job at CNBC. Ironically, Kopecki had replaced Jefferson after he left the paper in late 2014 to become a spokesman for a mayoral candidate.

Jefferson had been the editor in chief of the alternative newspaper, the San Antonio Current, since March 2018.

Jefferson first became the Express-News business editor in December 2012, just in time to launch the newspaper’s Sunday business section and stand-alone business pages on Monday.

Previously, he co-founded, edited and wrote for Plaza de Armas, an online journal of politics, business and the arts in San Antonio.

At the Express-News, in an eight-year run before PdA, he covered business, City Hall and politics, led the politics and government team as an assistant city editor, and wrote a Saturday column on local politics.

He also did two stints at the San Antonio Business Journal after moving to Texas from his home state of Indiana in 2000.
