Lee Howard is the new business editor of The Day in New London, Connecticut.
Howard writes, “I will still be working on the Times, but the reduced number of editions will free me up to do more stories on the local business community. I will be working hard to cover what’s happening at Millstone, Pfizer Inc., in the local banking community and the hubbub surrounding the new era of wind turbine production, among other topics.
“For those of you whom I haven’t met, I can sum up my experience as ‘just about everything.’ I was layout editor and news editor of The Danville Register in Danville, Va., before coming to The Day in 1979. Since then, I’ve been a town reporter, copy editor, Region editor, Page One editor, Sunday editor, Marketplace magazine editor and senior business reporter.
“I also started The Times papers 20 years ago as its first managing editor. During COVID, I launched The Norwich Times, which was widely popular, and brought on a lot of new columnists while also designing and paginating several other editions.”
