Fields to teach business journalism at China university

Gregg Fields, a former Miami Herald business reporter who has been leading the business journalism program at Florida International University, is going to teach business journalism at a university in China.

Fields has continued to write a weekly column for the Herald.

Nancy Dahlberg, editor of the Herald’s Business Monday, writes, “So many of you tell me that Gregg Fields’ column is one of your favorite Business Monday features, and it is for me as well. So I’m doubly sad to say this will be Gregg’s final column. He’s off to a new adventure teaching business journalism at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

“Of course I hope his unique take on business will return to these pages when his assignment is over, and I hope he makes guest appearances, too. We all could use more humor.

“Gregg once told me his preferred brand of humor is what he calls angry laughter — equal parts outrage and humor. Whether he is writing about Miami’s stadium deal, his dwindling 401(K) or the high cost of his cat named Sox, he hits a nerve, as evidenced by the flood of mail he always gets. Find his last column on page 15 and read some of his greatest hits on MiamiHerald.com/business (scroll down to columnists).”
