Dallas Biz Journal tech reporter hired by D CEO magazine

Shawn Shinneman, the tech reporter for the Dallas Business Journal, has been hired by D CEO magazine to be a senior editor and editor of its D CEO Healthcare web site.

D CEO editor Glenn Hunter writes, “Shawn comes to us from the Dallas Business Journal, where he’d served as the technology reporter, editing the DBJ‘s Techflash newsletter.

“A ‘crack reporter’ — another one of those references talking again — and a ‘very strong writer,’ Shawn earned a masters in magazine writing from the University of Missouri, where he also served as an adjunct professor. He’s also covered breaking news (for a daily paper in the Chicago area) and snagged multiple state and national awards for his investigative reporting.

“On the personal side, Shawn’s a native of St. Joseph, Missouri, something of a trivia guru, and a ‘decent golfer.’ Check out his work at D CEO Healthcare, starting Wednesday.”
