Greg Andrews, former editor of the Indianapolis Business Journal and business editor of the Indianapolis Star, died May 20 at the age of 60.
An obituary states, “Though Greg preferred working behind the scenes, his influence on Indiana journalism was substantial. During nearly 30 years at the Indianapolis Business Journal, he rose from reporter to managing editor and then into the top editor position. He helped transform the weekly print newspaper into a multimedia news organization with a major digital presence, including podcasts, newsletters and breaking news coverage.
“Under Greg’s leadership, IBJ earned numerous state and national honors for investigative reporting, design and business journalism. During his tenure, the publication received repeated recognition from the Society of Professional Journalists, Society of American Business Editors and Writers and was named the nation’s best business publication among similarly sized newspapers — the first and only time IBJ has received the award.
“Greg believed editors should never stop reporting. He continued writing ‘Behind the News,’ a popular weekly business column. It won several awards, including the Gold for Recurring Feature from The Alliance of Area Business Publishers in 2013, which included entries from major city business newspapers and magazines, including Los Angeles and New York.”
