InvestmentNews creator retires

Jim Pavia, the editor of InvestmentNews, writes about the retirement of the publication’s founder, Bill Bisson, from Crain Communications.

Pavia writes, “During my six years as editor, I can attest to the fact that when someone challenged the fairness of a news story in InvestmentNews, Bill was the first to check with me to make sure that we dotted every i and crossed every t.

“He also demanded integrity and fairness from editors and always placed the readers’ interests first.

“While old-fashioned in that sense, Bill was an innovator in every other way. He constantly prodded the editorial and business sides of his publications to reinvent themselves and to be slightly ahead of the curve.

“‘He has never been satisfied with his publications, despite their success,’ Mike said. ‘He was always asking: ‘What can be improved?’ ‘What can we do better for our readers?”
