Indiana paper names new business editor

The Evansville Courier & Press announced Monday that assistant metro editor Tom Lovett will become its new business editor, beginning April 14, according to a story in the Evansville Business Journal.

The story stated, “He will succeed Alan Julian, who retired from the Courier & Press in late January.

“Lovett said, ‘I think Evansville has a thriving business community. And I think Alan Julian went a long way to developing our business coverage. I hope I can continue the work he started.’

“Stewart said, ‘I’m excited about Tom Lovett taking over the business desk. I know he is up to the challenge.’
