New biz editor at New Hampshire paper

Mike Cote has been named the new business editor at The Union Leader in Manchester, N.H.

Cote writes, “I recently joined the Union Leader as business editor after working for newspapers and magazines in Colorado and Florida. As we celebrate Labor Day this weekend, I’m grateful to be able to continue my career back in my hometown, working with newsroom staff and a team of correspondents scattered throughout the state.

“After several weeks working with veteran reporter Denis Paiste, who is taking a year off to work as a technical writer for MIT, I have the pleasure of teaming up with another veteran journalist. Dave Solomon, whose resume includes top editing posts at the Nashua Telegraph and the Portsmouth Herald, has signed on to cover business news.

“Dave will be tapping his statewide connections to cover the most important trends facing New Hampshire as well as spotlighting the region’s established players and upstarts. After a mere six weeks here, I get to call him ‘the new guy.'”
