Indianapolis Business Journal names new ME

The Indianapolis Business Journal has named staff writer Cory Schouten as its managing editor.

He replaces Greg Andrews, who is moving to the editor position.

A story on its website states, “Schouten, 31, joined IBJ as a reporter in 2006 after stints at the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and the Arizona Republic. The Indianapolis native and Indiana University graduate currently covers the real estate beat, writes the Property Lines real estate blog and appears on business news updates for Fox59, IBJ’s newsgathering partner.

“Schouten also serves as a member of the board of governors of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, treasurer of the Indianapolis Press Club Foundation and an adjunct lecturer at the School of Journalism at IUPUI.

“Andrews, the newspaper’s managing editor since 2005, will succeed Editor Tom Harton in March. Harton announced plans to step down in March after 22 years on the job.”
