Hartford Biz Journal editor resigns

Hartford Business Journal editor John Ferraro plans to leave the publication after less than a year for a job with an online community news organization owned by America Online, writes Eric Gershon of the Hartford Courant.

Gershon writes, “Ferraro, an editor at The Courant before joining the Business Journal in March, said he will become editor of Patch.com’s Connecticut community news websites. Patch.com currently operates four sites in the state, all in Fairfield County, and plans to add others, he said.

“The AOL unit, which has executive offices in New York, also operates local news websites in New York state and New Jersey. Ferraro will work from home in Connecticut.

“‘I just had this opportunity come up and I thought it was too good to pass up,’ he said.”
