Alex Wittenberg has been hired by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal to cover residential real estate, homebuilding, manufacturing, advertising and PR firms, and diversity in business.
A story on its website states, “He’s a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and political science. While at the U, he was online editor at The Wake Student Magazine and captain of the Gopher’s men’s varsity gymnastics team.
