Alec Harvey has been hired as executive editor of Business Alabama magazine.
He replaces Chris McFadyen, who is retiring as editorial director after 36 years with the company.
Nedra Bloom of Business Alabama writes, “A former national president of the Society for Features Journalism, what he missed most at Auburn was writing, a yearning he filled with freelance assignments for various publications, including a number for Business Alabama.
“But Birmingham and family called. He was looking for an option to get back home when the editorial director position opened, and he knew it was time to make the move.
“He is looking forward to the challenge.
“‘One thing that really intrigues me about business coverage is that it overlaps everything,’ he says. ‘It’s part of everything we do. There’s always a business angle.'”
