Happy to be back on the biz beat

Lewis Lazare, the former Chicago Sun-Times business columnist, is happy to be working again as a business journalist covering Chicago for American City Business Journals, writes Robert Feder of Time Out Chicago.

Feder reports, “His hiring marks an expansion of American City Business Journals to include Chicago among the more than 40 markets it covers. At the outset, Lazare will focus on marketing and advertising, media, airlines and entertainment business stories — all areas he has reported on extensively in the past.

“‘I am so, so happy to be doing local business reporting for a national company with great people who know what that kind of journalism is all about and specialize in it,’ he said. The company is a unit of Advance Publications Inc., which also includes Conde Nast and other media properties.

“Lazare is expected to continue to write for Ruth Ratny’s ReelChicago.com, where he’s been free-lancing since his position at the Sun-Times was eliminated in 2011. He previously worked for the Chicago Reader, Crain’s Chicago Business and the Chicago bureau of Variety.”
