Haj named editorial director at American Lawyer

George Haj, regional editor-in-chief for the South, has been promoted to ALM editorial director as part of a change in senior editorial leadership.

A story on the Daily Business Review website states, “In this new role, Haj will oversee reporters, editors and copy editors across ALM’s legal, finance, insurance and real estate sectors from his base in Miami. He will focus on further integrating the ALM newsroom to accelerate the process of identifying content in each area that would be of interest to other ALM audiences and creating content and products for a broader audience.

“Haj will also oversee ALM’s national magazines, including The American Lawyer, Corporate Counsel, Investment Advisor and National Underwriter Life & Health.

“Before joining ALM in 2014, Haj served in a number of roles at the Miami Herald, including executive business editor, and as senior editor of local news for the Houston Chronicle. He was a John S. Knight Fellow at Stanford University and currently serves on the fellowship’s program committee.

“Hank Grezlak‘s role as regional editor-in-chief for the Northeast has been expanded to include oversight of all regional brands including the Daily Business Review, the New York Law Journal, The Recorder, Texas Lawyer and Daily Report. Grezlak, who will be reporting to Haj, will ensure seamless communication between brand editors and ALM’s new global newsroom.”
