Jacksonville paper names new business columnist

Abel Harding, a blogger and a former bank executive in the Jacksonville area, has been named a business columnist for the Florida Times-Union, according to a story on its Web site.

The story states, “‘Abel has been a banker, but clearly, his heart and soul are in journalism. He’s smart, talented, curious and dedicated — and perfect for this new role,’ Denton said.

“‘He has broken a lot of stories in this town, and now he’ll be breaking them for us,’ Denton said. ‘This is an important part of our expansion and improvement of our business coverage, with more to come.’
     
“In other changes, veteran reporter Roger Bull has moved to the business staff where he will contribute in-depth reporting and business reporter Kevin Turner will shift his focus to provide substantially more coverage of small businesses, both in print and online.”
