Coleman named new editor at Crain’s New York

Glenn Coleman, the managing editor at Crain’s New York for the past three years, has been naed its editor.

He replaces Xana Antunes, who was dismissed on Monday.

A Crain’s New York story states, “Mr. Coleman has had a long history with Crain Communications, which is headquartered in Detroit and Chicago. He was founding editor of InvestmentNews, which targets the financial advice industry, as well as of FinancialWeek, which folded in late 2008. He also spent seven years at Crain’s Chicago Business, where he rose from features editor to managing editor.

“In New York, the 51-year-old Mr. Coleman has overseen coverage of the economy, Wall Street, banking, health care and small business.

“‘I have the utmost confidence in Glenn’s ability to lead our talented editorial team,’ Rance Crain, owner and editor-in-chief of Crain’s New York Business, said in a statement. ‘He did a superb job as startup editor of FinancialWeek, and I know he will infuse his keen knowledge and understanding of the needs and concerns of our core reader into Crain’s New York Business.'”
