Shirley Leung, the Boston Globe’s business columnist, has been named the paper’s interim editorial page editor, replacing Ellen Clegg, who retired last week.
A story on its website states, “In a note to staff, Linda Pizzuti Henry, the Globe’s managing director, said Leung would serve as the leader of the editorial board for the next six months, beginning Aug. 27.
“‘Shirley has been a bold voice in Boston, writing an impactful, must-read, often counterintuitive column in our business section for the past five years,’ Henry wrote, adding that while she was reluctant to lose Leung’s column in the news pages, ‘I could not be more excited about this new role for her.'”
