A story on its website states, “A 2011 graduate of Truman State University, Shinneman received his M.A. in journalism from the University of Missouri earlier this year. While at Missouri, he was awarded the Larry J. Waller Fellowship in Investigative Reporting, which allowed him to examine the fallout in various states from wrongful convictions.

“At the Business Journal, Shinneman will cover technology companies and trends in tech that are impacting the bottom line at companies across North Texas, along with the executives who lead these fast-growing firms. Shinneman will also serve as the editor of the Business Journal’s daily newsletter, TechFlash.
