Dallas Morning News biz reporter leaving for government job

TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE

Bob Moos, a business reporter at the Dallas Morning News, is leaving the paper for a job with a federal government agency. His last day at the paper is Friday.

Business editor Dennis Fulton, in a memo to the staff, wrote, “We are losing a great one.

“After 23 years at The Dallas Morning News and more than five years writing about career challenges facing boomers, Bob Moos is taking some of his own advice. He’s reinventing his career.

“Bob has accepted a position with the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as the agency’s public affairs specialist for the Southwest. In other words, he’s moving a few blocks down Young Street and will be calling us with story ideas.

“I don’t have to tell you guys how valuable Bob has been to The News throughout his career, and especially since joining Business in 2004. He pioneered a full-time beat covering boomers and aging demographics. His coverage has been groundbreaking, informative and hugely useful to our readers. Following Bob’s example, many news organizations have created similar beats.

“Before joining Business, Bob worked 18 years in the editorial department, as an editorial writer, columnist, op-ed page editor and assistant editorial page editor.

“Please join me in wishing Bob well. His last day in the office will be next Friday, Nov. 20, before he takes some previously scheduled vacation.

“His first day in the new job is Dec. 7.”
