The Los Angeles Business Journal formally named Hannah Welk as its editor-in-chief last week, making her the 45-year-old publication’s first woman in the role.
Zane Hill of the Business Journal writes, “The job itself isn’t new for her or the department – she’s spent the past six months as interim editor, following the exit of Charlie Crumpley. Welk first joined the Business Journal in 2018 as a real estate reporter and said she was ‘honored” to take on the top role.
“’Serving as the interim editor for the last six months has been an incredible experience and I’m excited to continue to build upon the publication’s legacy,’ she added.
“Welk, a 2014 graduate of USC, hit the ground running when she took on interim duties in late January and oversaw the Business Journal’s shift of its sister publication, the biweekly San Fernando Valley Business Journal, into the bimonthly Inside The Valley magazine.”
