Shirley Leung, the business editor at the Boston Globe for the past six years, is going to become a business columnist for the paper.
Beth Healy of The Globe writes, “Leung, 41, will write twice a week on business and the economy, bringing her experience of many years as a reporter and editor. A search for the newspaper’s next business editor is underway, and will likely be an in-house candidate, Globe editor Brian McGrory said.
“McGrory said starting next week, Leung will ‘take her ideas, or at least many of them, and put them under her own name, presented in what I know will be a personable and blunt column-writing style, brimming with her unique experience and exhaustive reporting.’
“A native of Bel Air, Md., and a graduate of Princeton University, Leung joined the Globe in 1996 as a reporter and later worked for the Wall Street Journal in its Boston, Los Angeles and Chicago bureaus. She rejoined the Globe in 2004 to edit the Sunday Business section and in 2007 was promoted to section editor.”
