The San Jose Mercury News has named reporters Dean Takahashi and Michelle Quinn as their newest business columnists, according to a short item in Monday’s paper.
The item stated, “By naming these two veteran Mercury News staff writers as columnists, we add unique and insightful coverage of Silicon Valley.
“Quinn’s ‘Valley Voice,’ running Sundays and Wednesdays, will offer a lively, engaging take on ideas, people, companies and trends in the valley. Look for Her column to debut Wednesday in the Business section.”

Both Takahashi and Quinn were finalists for a Loeb Award this year for the paper’s coverage of ousted Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. Columnist Mike Langberg left the paper in October.
