Jackson hired as associate business editor for South Carolina paper

Sherry Jackson

Sherry Jackson has been hired as associate business editor for Community Newspapers in South Carolina, meaning she will oversee content for the Upstate Business Journal.

She writes, “As some of you may remember, three years ago my family and I left Greenville to head west. While we enjoyed our time in the hot Arizona desert, we decided Greenville is home. There’s a whole list of things I missed – downtown, having four seasons (and rain!) and the overall sense of community Greenville embodies were all at the top. Southern hospitality is truly abundant in Greenville and I am so thrilled to be back.

“I’ve rejoined the Community Journals team as associate business editor. What does that mean? I’ll be overseeing content for the Upstate Business Journal and connecting (and reconnecting) with the Upstate business community. It’s my goal to bring you the stories you care about, news about what’s going on and insight into the people and entrepreneurs that make our community thrive. Please reach out to me with ideas, comments and feedback and let’s keep the conversation going.”
