Peter Van Allen, a veteran business reporter and editor, will become editor of Mainebiz in early May.
A story on its website states, “Publisher Donna Brassard announced in a press release that Van Allen previously worked as a reporter at the Philadelphia Business Journal and business editor at the Courier-Post in Cherry Hill, N.J., and the Post-Tribune in Gary, Ind.
“‘Peter has a strong business news background with a small-town sensibility that fits our culture here at Mainebiz,’ Brassard said in a statement.
“Van Allen will succeed Carol Coultas, who in April took a job as business editor at the Portland Press Herald.
“‘As editor of Mainebiz, I am coming into a long legacy of solid business journalism and an engaged base of readers,’ Van Allen said. ‘In the coming weeks and months, I hope to get out and meet as many people in the business community as I can.'”
