Sarah Zupko

The Huntsville Business Journal has named Sarah Zupko as its new editor.

Noah Logan of the Business Journal writes, “Zupko’s journey to the editor’s desk is deeply rooted in Huntsville.

“A graduate of Grissom High School, she pursued her undergraduate degree in history at Brigham Young University. After taking time to raise her children, she returned to her academic pursuits, earning a graduate history degree and teaching at the University of Alabama in Huntsville for over four years.

“‘I grew up with an appreciation for newspapers,’ Zupko shared. ‘My parents subscribed to The Huntsville Times throughout my youth, and I remember how they’d read and discuss the stories. It’s an honor to now be part of a team that tells Huntsville’s story.’

“As editor, Zupko is committed to spotlighting the people and innovations that drive Huntsville’s growth.”
