Former Lexington biz editor finds job as city editor

Jeff Beach, the former business editor at the Lexington Herald-Leader in Kentucky, has been named the city editor of the Bowling Green Daily News in Kentucky.

Beach had been laid off from the Lexington paper in March 2009.

A story in the Daily News on Sunday states, “Beach was most recently employed by the Lexington Herald-Leader, where he worked from 2001 to 2009, first as the night metro editor and later as the business editor.

“Beach’s other professional experience includes time at the Grand Forks (N.D.) Herald, which won a Pulitzer Prize for public service in 1998 for its coverage of flooding in the Red River Valley and fire that burned several blocks of downtown Grand Forks, including the Herald’s newsroom. Beach was the news editor for the paper at that time.

“Beach is a North Dakota native and an alumnus of the University of North Dakota.”
