Neil Lineberger is the new business editor at the Gaston Gazette, a newspaper south of Charlotte in North Carolina.
A story on the paper’s Web site stated, “In 2004, Lineberger returned to Gaston County, joining Benefit Partners Inc., to work for his brother, Charles Lineberger. As an employee benefits specialist, Lineberger sold insurance to area businesses. He became active in the Gaston Chamber, Rotary and other business and civic organizations.
“‘I discovered that my brother got the sales gene in our family,’ said Lineberger. ‘I also missed writing. So when I learned of the opening at the Gazette, I took a chance that no English instructors from the Abbey were looking for a job.’
“‘We’re pleased to have Neil join The Gazette staff,’ said Editor Hunter Bretzius. ‘His background in business and knowledge of the Gaston County area is an ideal combination for our business editor.'”
