Crain's Detroit says goodbye to two staffers

Mary Kramer, the publisher of Crain’s Detroit, writes in the latest issue about two editors leaving the weekly business newspaper.

Shawn Selby is joining the new Crain’s publication in Manchester, England, while Mike Lee is joining the Associated Press to run a business news desk in New York.

Kramer wrote, “Shawn is not only a great copy editor, but he can design eye-catching pages and write award-winning headlines.

“Mike, who has served as general manager for our Web site, is moving to New York City to run a business news desk for the Associated Press.
