George P. Gombossy, editor of The Hartford Courant’s business section since 1995 and a SABEW board member, will leave his post in November to write an investigative consumer column that will debut early next year, according to a story in Tuesday’s paper.
His new column, tentatively titled “At Your Service,” will research people’s complaints, concerns and questions and get them answers, Courant Editor Cliff Teutsch said Monday in an e-mail to the newsroom. “George’s understanding of business, government and consumer issues, his wide circle of contacts and his years of experience as one of The Courant’s most effective investigative reporters make him ideally suited for the job,” Teutsch said. A new business editor will be named soon.
Gombossy, 59, has written or co-authored articles that earned him more than 20 journalistic awards, including the George Polk Award for local reporting.
