Matt Wickenheiser has joined the Bangor Daily News as its new business editor, according to a story in the Maine newspaper.

Jeff Tuttle writes, “Wickenheiser’s coverage of issues affecting Maine’s business community will be featured both in print and online at bangordailynews.com.

“‘Matt Wickenheiser has established himself as one of Maine’s best journalists,’ said Mike Dowd, Bangor Daily News editor-in-chief. ‘Over his career, he has reported on issues and topics affecting businesses from Madawaska to Kittery and Bethel to Eastport. I am pleased he has joined our staff and I am confident he will provide our readers with exceptional statewide business coverage that is not only informative but useful.’

“Wickenheiser’s coverage will focus on the challenges facing Maine’s small businesses and offer insight to small-business owners on how to meet those challenges.

“‘Business news is incredibly important to a state like Maine,’ Wickenheiser said. ‘We’re a state of small-business owners, mill workers, construction workers and builders. Everyone is impacted by the economy, and everyone should be paying attention to it.'”
