Little Rock paper seeking business editor

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette is looking for a new business editor, reports Kate Knable of Arkansas Business.

Knablel writes, “Deputy Editor Frank Fellone last week said Roger Hedges, assistant managing editor for business, retired in early January after ‘several years’ as business editor and about three decades of working for the statewide daily newspaper.

“‘He has not been replaced,’ Fellone said. ‘We’re seeking applicants for a business editor.’

“The hope is to find the right replacement for Hedges as soon as possible, Fellone said.”
