The Boston Globe is starting a twice-weekly newsletter focused on business and power in Greater Boston, particularly what’s going on behind the scenes.
The newsletter, which will start next week, will be called “Power Play.”
It will be written by business reporter Jon Chesto and columnist Shirley Leung.
Chesto has covered business and government issues in New England for more than 30 years. Before joining the Globe in 2014, he worked at the Boston Business Journal, the Patriot Ledger, the Boston Herald and Ottaway Newspapers. He chronicle’s many of the region’s business sagas, such as the future of Beacon Park Year and the rise and fall and rise of General Electric.
Leung has been the business editor at the Globe and now writes a column, cohosts the Globe’s “Say More” podcast and contributes to GBH’s “Boston Public Radio.” She also worked at The Wall Street Journal in Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles.
