Indianapolis Biz Journal promotes Quinn to ME

Samm Quinn

Samm Quinn has been promoted to managing editor at The Indianapolis Business Journal.

David Lindquist of the Business Journal writes, “Quinn’s responsibilities in the newsroom’s No. 2 leadership position will include editing stories for the weekly print edition and working with reporters on investigative stories and enterprise packages.

“The 33-year-old Franklin College alum takes the position vacated by Greg Weaver, who was named editor of the Indiana Lawyer earlier this month. Indianapolis Business Journal and Indiana Lawyer are part of the IBJ Media newsroom that includes Inside INdiana Business.

“‘I’ve had the privilege of working with Samm Quinn since she was a student at Franklin and I oversaw the college’s TheStatehouseFile.com reporting website,’ said Lesley Weidenbener, IBJ’s top editor, on Monday. ‘She was outstanding then and has continued to do outstanding work at every news organization that she has been a part of. We were lucky to have her join IBJ, first as a reporter and then as an editor, and I’m thrilled to promote her into the job as managing editor. I know she’ll continue to grow into an even stronger leader and journalist.'”
