Assistant biz editor leads Dallas paper’s iPad effort

Bob Mong, the editor of the Dallas Morning News, writes about the work of Paul O’Donnell, an assistant business editor who has led the paper’s efforts in launching an iPad application.

Mong writes, “Paul and his staff devote their time to providing you with the best possible tablet experience.

“‘I was an early buyer of the iPad,’ Paul says, ‘and I quickly came to appreciate how it engaged me to spend my leisure time.’
