Wayne T. Price

Wayne T. Price, formerly the business editor at Florida Today, based in Brevard County on Florida’s Space Coast, recently left that position.

He had been at the paper for 20 years.

Florida Today, owned by the Gannett Co. and started by USA Today founder Al Neuharth, is actively seeking a replacement for Price to cover the Space Coast and Central Florida economy, including the burgeoning aerospace industry which takes in NASA, Space X, Blue Origin, Embraer Executive Jets, Harris Corp. and Northrop Grumman among others.
