Justin Catanoso, the executive editor of the Triad Business Journal in Greensboro, N.C., has resigned to become the director of the journalism program at Wake Forest University.
Fran Daniel of the Winston-Salem Journal writes, “Lloyd Whittington, formerly the associate editor for The Business Journal, has replaced Catanoso at the weekly business newspaper.
“Catanoso, who lives in Greensboro, has been teaching at Wake since 1993 — he was a visiting lecturer and is now a senior lecturer. In his new position, he will continue to teach classes in reporting and editing.
“His priorities are to update the curriculum at Wake ‘and to make sure that it is in line with the demands and opportunities of the changing media landscape,’ he said. ‘I hope to raise the profile of the program within Wake Forest and really within the greater community of journalism education.’
“He said he is working on collaborations with nonprofit media groups outside of Winston-Salem and looking for ways to enhance and improve training for the next generation of journalists.”
