Hem covered technology for the paper. He’s a 1999 graduate of the University of Missouri.
Cook is a veteran of the energy and oil beat at the Chronicle. Lanterman oversaw small business coverage at the paper, which has two other assistant business editors.
UPDATE: Two copy editors on the business desk — Jessica Creighton and Joe Markman — were also laid off from the Chronicle.
