Allison Gibson has been named editor of the North Bay Business Journal and business editor of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat in California.

Susan Wood of the Business Journal writes, “In her new role as Senior Editor/Business at Sonoma Media Investments, the parent of NBBJ and The Press Democrat, Gibson will work with journalists across the company to elevate coverage of the local business scene — from upstart entrepreneurs to North Bay’s most established companies and economic drivers.

“Beyond serving a stint in Paris (where it helped that she spoke French), Gibson has been a part of TV and digitally focused newsrooms in cities across the nation, including Virginia, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

“Before arriving at The Press Democrat in December 2021, Gibson was news director at KWWL-TV, an NBC affiliate in Waterloo, Iowa.”
