Arkansas Business editor Lance Turner is leaving the publication to join Little Rock-based Ghidotti Communications, a strategic communications firm, as an account supervisor.
Dwain Hebda of Arkansas Money & Politics reports, “Turner, 47, is a graduate of Arkansas State University and has played a major role in the publication’s growth and diversification through the years. In December 2000, he became editor of the newly launched ArkansasBusiness.com, and his job has expanded as ABPG’s online offerings expanded. He took over the editor’s role at Arkansas Business from Gwen Moritz in 2021. Moritz will return to serve as interim editor until a permanent replacement can be named, Turner said.
“A native Arkansan, Turner has also become a familiar face to the viewers of Arkansas Business’ news partner, KTHV-TV, Channel 11, by delivering business news during the morning news program, ‘Wake Up Central.’
“‘This company has been really good about keeping me interested and throwing new things at me,’ he said. ‘I was fortunate enough to be here when the Internet started to become a thing and we launched a lot of websites and there was a lot happening.'”
