Connecticut biz editor leaves for PR

TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE

Jim Zebora, the business editor for the Connecticut Post, Stamford Advocate, Greenwich Time and Danbury News-Times in southwest Connecticut, has left his job.

Zebora will join New York-based strategic communications firm The Dilenschneider Group as a principal on Monday.

“Twenty years as a business editor and I will surely miss it,” Zebora told Talking Biz News. “I don’t think there’s any better job in the business than the one I’ve had here in Stamford.”

No replacement has been named yet. The papers are all owned by Hearst.

Zebora, a graduate of Georgetown University, served as business editor at The Advocate/Greenwich Time from 1999 to 2007 before overseeing business coverage at all of the Hearst papers in the state, including seven community weeklies throughout Fairfield County.

Prior to joining The Advocate, he spent 19 years at the Record-Journal in his native Meriden, where he worked his way up to business editor.
