Arnold promoted to editor of San Antonio Biz Journal

Ed Arnold

The San Antonio Business Journal has named Ed Arnold its editor in chief.

W. Scott Bailey of the Business Journal writes, “A graduate of the University of Memphis, Arnold launched his career with American City Business Journals in 2012 as an editorial intern for the Memphis Business Journal. He then leveraged that opportunity into a four-year run as digital producer and social engagement manager for the Tennessee publication before making the move to ACBJ’s San Antonio publication nearly six years ago.

“‘I could not be more honored to lead the team at the San Antonio Business Journal,’ Arnold said. ‘It’s been a life-long ambition to lead a newsroom like this one at a time like this. The city’s business community is changing at a break-neck pace and I can’t wait to help tell its story.’

“As editor in chief, Arnold will lead the Business Journal’s digital and print news products as well as its audience and engagement development initiatives. The timing of the move is key, given the rapid growth San Antonio is experiencing and the impact that’s expected to have on the city’s residents and businesses.”
