Editor departs Jacksonville Business Journal

John Burr, the editor of the Jacksonville Business Journal, has left the American City Business Journals publication.

Drew Dixon of the Florida Times-Union reports, “‘He is no longer with the company,’ Sillick said, adding he would not comment further on the abrupt departure. Burr also declined comment and no new editor has been identified.

“Burr took over the top editorial job at the Jacksonville Business Journal in June 2008. He went to the business publication after 20 years at the Florida Times-Union, where his last post was editor of community publications.

“At the time of Burr’s hiring at the Business Journal, Sillick called Burr ‘the one clearly with the type of experience and skills set I was looking for.'”
