Jeff Montgomery has been named business editor of The Telegraph Herald, the newspaper in Dubuque, Iowa.
A story on its website states, “In addition to those editing duties, Montgomery will continue to be the TH’s lead business reporter and Hinga will remain the primary education reporter. Other TH reporters also will provide some assistance in those areas.
“Montgomery is a native of Hawthorn Woods, Ill., and graduated with a journalism degree from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2008. He formerly worked as a reporter for The Journal-Standard in Freeport, Ill., and The North Scott Press in Eldridge, Iowa.
“Since arriving in Dubuque, Montgomery has won nearly a dozen statewide reporting awards in the Iowa Newspaper Association and Associated Press Media Editors contests. In February, the TH’s business coverage was named the best in the state among Iowa’s largest newspapers.”
