“‘I’m very happy and excited about the opportunity to lead our talented team of journalists in covering one of the most dynamic and fast-growing business communities in the nation,’ Hethcock said. ‘After 16 years of covering business in DFW, I look forward to building even stronger connections with our readers and with the people and companies we cover.’
