Dallas Biz Journal hires Roberson as ME

Jason Roberson

Dallas Business Journal editor Jeffrey Schnick sent out the following announcement on Thursday:

We have more exciting news to share from the editorial team: Jason Roberson will be joining us on July 12 as our managing editor.
Currently serving as a managing supervisor at FleishmanHillard, Jason is one of the most gifted journalists in North Texas.
Some of us have worked with Jason before, too. He was a special sections writer for the DBJ in 2001 before he left for the Dayton Daily News, and, after that, the Detroit Free Press in 2005.
He returned to Dallas in 2007, arriving at the Morning News as a business reporter a month after I took a spot on the DMN’s night news desk.
As an assistant business editor, I worked closely with Jason on numerous breaking news stories and other projects. He worked long hours, pushing to get news online and in print before anyone else. He had a knack for tackling thorny stories, loves following a paper trail and asking tough questions.
A 2000 j-school graduate from UNT, Jason has years of business beat reporting experience, winning multiple awards along the way from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, Texas Medical Association, Dallas Bar Association and others.
Here is his LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-roberson-1980a44a
His passion is clearly business news. He is thrilled to return to journalism to work with a publication that focuses solely on that topic at the local level.
Please join me in welcoming him (back) to the ACBJ family!
