Boston Globe names Logan its deputy biz editor, promotes two reporters

Boston Globe business editor Greg Huang sent the following announcement about staff changes:

All,

I’m overdue sending this note, but very pleased to announce some recent moves in the Globe’s business department.

For the past several months, our real estate and development reporter Tim Logan has been filling in as an editor, helping steer our coverage in development, housing, and other crucial areas. He has more than risen to the challenge, setting the agenda and leading a steady drumbeat of urgent stories, and so has earned a promotion to Deputy Business Editor, effective immediately.

In his new role, Tim will help lead our broader business coverage across daily and enterprise, together with Mark Pothier, Patti Nealon, and me. After a few months, I can say our teamwork has been remarkably smooth and productive in an otherwise challenging time. Tim’s perspective, ideas, and collaborative spirit have already made a mark, involving reporters and editors around the newsroom, and there’s so much more to come.

This also means we are actively recruiting for a reporter to own Tim’s former development beat – a super important, fun, and active area for the paper. If you have any leads, it’s not too late to let us know… but it’s almost too late.

Which brings me to two more key updates:

We’ve been recruiting for a general assignment reporter – and it turns out the best candidate was already in our department. Anissa Gardizy, who joined the Globe’s biz staff as a digital producer/reporter after being our coop in 2020, has earned the slot, thanks to her relentlessly high level of work. Anissa’s ability to juggle web producing, reporting, newsletters, A1 stories, and eighty other things has been indispensable – we’re very excited to see what’s next.

But I know what you’re thinking. Who’ll do all those other things now? Answer: Diti Kohli, who many of you know. Diti came to the Globe in 2020 as the Living Arts coop and distinguished herself in producing, reporting, and writing. Now, after an internship at the Tampa Bay Times, she’ll be joining the business team as our new digital producer/reporter, filling Anissa’s current role. The transition will be next week, starting Nov. 1.

Congratulations to all – and onward.

Greg
