Media Movers: Bloomberg Industry Group’s Bernie Kohn
I call them the journalist conversion reversions: The rare professional who dips a toe into public relations and then goes back. Changing careers is hard enough, but then being re-accepted back into the news business is a feat after testing what many journos call the “dark side.” [Editor’s note: We love our PR peeps.] Kudos, […]

Kim Quillen‘s print journalism career has taken her across the nation: Delaware, Arizona, Louisiana and the Windy City, where since 2016 she’s served as a business editor at the Chicago Tribune. Kim isn’t that flashy journalist who splashes her scoops across social media. She’s a humble, behind-the-scenes presence: stable and reliable in an environment where […]
