Lowery departs new job after one month

Ilana Lowery

Ilana Lowery, who was hired as executive editor of Business Real Estate Weekly of Arizona last month, has left the publication.

On Facebook, Lowery wrote, “Determined after a very short stint that it was a bad fit … which happens. It’s unfortunate, but I’m staying positive! I am a big believer that everything happens for a reason.”

Lowery was hired to oversee the publication’s product strategy and vision across all platforms, as well as audience growth. Business Real Estate Weekly was founded in 1995 and is a weekly publication.

She was editor of the Phoenix Business Journal for 15 years and managing editor for five years before leaving that publication earlier this year. She started at the Business Journal in 1995 as a reporter and projects editor, covering banking, real estate, economic development, aviation, tourism and sports business.

She previously was an editor for Independent Newspapers Inc., a community newspaper chain based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Lowery also teaches at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
