Florida biz journal hires managing editor

Timothy Gibbons, business editor at the Times-Union, is leaving to become  managing editor at the Jacksonville Business Journal.

Kate Howard Perry of the Times-Union writes, “Gibbons has been with the Times-Union for 11 years. He will start at the business publication in mid-July.

“‘I look forward to using the skills and experience I’ve developed over more than a decade at the Times-Union at the Business Journal,’ Gibbons said. ‘The Business Journal has ambitious plans, and it will be exciting to be a part of that future.’

“The Jacksonville Business Journal is a weekly print newspaper and daily website, one of 40 owned by American City Business Journals.

Frank Denton, editor of the Times-Union, said Gibbons is a ‘talented and principled’ journalist who will be missed by the news organization.

“‘We wish him well,’ Denton said.”
