Paul D. Davies, a longtime business journalist, has been named deputy editorial page editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

He begins Aug. 29.

Harold Jackson of the Inquirer writes, “Born in Philadelphia, Davies served as the Inquirer’s deputy editorial page editor from 2007 to 2011, and was instrumental in improving the department’s online presence. For the past two years, Davies has been a journalism professor at the University of Delaware. Prior to that, he was a senior fellow for the Institute for American Values in New York.

“From 1997 to 2004, Davies was a reporter at the Philadelphia Daily News, where his stories on predatory lending led to the convictions of two people and made him a finalist for the Gerald Loeb Award for business reporting. He has also been a reporter for the Wall Street Journal; Worth magazine; the New Haven, Conn., Register; the Lakeland, Fla., Ledger; and the Salisbury, Md., Times. He began his career as an Inquirer suburban correspondent.
