Greensboro biz weekly names new editor

Mark Sutter, an editor with 18 years of experience at the News & Record of Greensboro, has been named the new editor of The Triad Business Journal, also based in Greensboro, according to a short story on the paper’s web site Wednesday.

The story stated, “Sutter will join Executive Editor Justin Catanoso and Associate Editor Lloyd Whittington in leading a weekly business news operation that has won more than two dozen state and national reporting awards since the paper started publishing in September 1998.

“While at the News & Record, Sutter, a Detroit, Mich.., native, served as business reporter, business editor, public affairs editor, city editor and most recently, director of special publications.

“‘Mark brings a solid background of experience in business reporting and editing,’ Copeland said. ‘We are fortunate to have him in this leadership position.'”

John Robinson, the editor of the News & Record, paid Sutter a nice compliment on his blog Wednesday, writing, “If I were the publisher of the Biz Journal, I’d hire Mark.”
