AP hires new airlines reporter

Associated Press business editor Hal Ritter sent out the following announcement to the business news staff on Wednesday:

I’m pleased to announce that Scott Mayerowitz joins Business News today as an airlines reporter in New York. Scott arrives from ABC News where he was travel editor and manager of the travel vertical of ABCNews.com. Scott wrote and produced travel stories primarily but also did stories on autos, retailing and real estate. Frommer’s recently named Scott one of its ’10 Top Travel Twitterers.’

Before joining ABC in 2007, Scott spent seven years as a reporter at The Providence Journal. He covered state government, politics and the gambling industry. His investigative stories in 2003 about lavish pay and perks for school crossing guards in Cranston earned a first-place award from the Rhode Island Press Association.

Scott graduated from Wesleyan University in 2000 with a degree in government. He was editor-in-chief of The Wesleyan Argus and senior class president.
