Nicole Garrison-Sprenger, a business reporter for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, has resigned to become a spokeswoman for the Minnesota Department of Commerce, according to a memo posted on MinnPost.com.
“We knew Nicole had a lot of energy when she joined us. She came with a mile-long source list,  a catalogue of story ideas  and a deep understanding of the financial beat.  She soon showed us she was also a quick study who could jump in on a breaking story off her beat and still trounce the competition. Watching her work these past few years has been inspiring. Equally inspiring has been Nicole’s commitment to the profession, exemplified by her tenure as president of the local chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.”
