Dan Behringer

Dan Behringer, whose journalism career spanned nearly four decades, retired Friday, April 6, from his position as business news editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

He retires exactly 25 years from his original employment date of April 6, 1993, where he began work at the Review-Journal as a copy editor.

In nearly 40 years in the journalism profession, he wrote for or edited newspapers in Michigan, Texas, Utah and Nevada. He won countless awards for team coverage, newspaper design, headline writing and editorial writing. His consistent awards on editorial writing on education issues while in Texas earned him the unofficial title of “winningest journalist in Texas.”
