Publisher says thank you to departing biz journal editor

Mark Kass

Heather Ladage, the publisher of the Milwaukee Business Journal, writes about Mark Kass, the editor of the publication who left last week after 20 yeas.

Ladage writes, “He managed reporters through recessions, a pandemic and an ever-changing media landscape. He adapted, changed and pivoted and always put you, the readers, first.

“I’m sure you’ll agree, change can be hard, but change can be good.

“When I decided to make a career change and trade my Austin Business Journal market presidency for Milwaukee two years ago, Mark once again stepped up and embraced that change, introducing me to many of you – our readers, sources and customers.

“As I search for Mark’s successor, I can assure you one thing that won’t change. MBJ will continue to provide you with business intelligence you can use to grow your business, advance your career and simplify your professional life.”
