Former Denver Post biz editor laid off

February 18, 2009

Stephen Keating, the former Denver Post business editor who has been running a political site for the paper, was laid off on Wednesday along with five other editors.

Keating, who was a former board member of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, will work on a project for the Post-owned MediaNews Group, writes Michael Roberts of Denver Westword.

Keating was hired by fellow former SABEW board member Henry Dubroff as a business reporter at the Post in 1994 and published a non-fiction book in 1999 titled “Cutthroat� about media moguls in the cable and satellite TV industry.

From mid-2000 until his return to the Post in November 2003, he ran a foundation at the University of Denver that researched privacy and technology issues. In 2005, he was a preliminary judge in the beat reporting category for the Gerald Loeb Awards. He was business editor until February 2007, when he founded the Politics West site.

He is a graduate of Syracuse University.
