Fruehling returns to Washington Biz Journal as editor in chief

Doug Fruehling

Doug Fruehling, editor-in-chief of the San Francisco Business Times, is returning to Washington, D.C., to take the reins of the Washington Business Journal, reports Michael Neibauer of the Business Journal.

Neibauer reports, “He will replace Vandana Sinha, who was recently promoted to a regional editor role with American City Business Journals, the parent company of both papers.

“Fruehling, 54, will continue in his role in San Francisco until early August, while Mary Huss, Business Times market president and publisher, searches for his successor. He will transition to the D.C. area in late summer.

“He joined the Business Times in July 2019 after 18 years at the WBJ, where he served as commercial real estate reporter, managing editor and senior editor for OnSite magazine.

“‘What an honor to have the opportunity to come back to an organization and a city that I called home for so many years,’ Fruehling said in a statement.”
