Hartford Biz Journal names new editor

Peter Mantius has been named the new editor of the Hartford Business Journal, according to a story in the weekly business paper. He replaces Vincent Valvo.

The story stated, “Peter Mantius, who led the Long Island Business News and was a financial and political reporter at the Atlanta Constitution for 17 years, has been named editor of the Hartford Business Journal, effective immediately.

“Mantius has been covering business since the 1980s and is a three-time Pulitzer nominee, regional first-place winner of a Society for Professional Journalists business writing award, and first-place winner of two Associated Press awards. He holds two journalism degrees: a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a master’s degree from Ohio State University, where he was a Kiplinger Fellow.

“In addition to a number of journalism awards, Mantius also wrote a book, “Shell Game,â€? which was praised in a New York Times book review as ‘smart, tenacious and uncompromised.’ The book exposed America’s role in helping an obscure Italian bank funnel more than $4 billion to Iraq’s Saddam Hussein during the buildup to the first Gulf War.”
