New biz editor at South China Morning Post

Stuart Jackson, who had been the business editor at the Hong Kong Standard, and before that was a high-ranking editor at Bloomberg News and at BusinessWeek, has been named the business editor of the South China Morning Post, according to this blog.

He was hired by Mark Clifford, himself a former BusinessWeek person. The blog noted, “Jackson is taking over the reins from Simon Pritchard, who left a month or two ago, and whom I quite liked. I’m not sure why or when Jackson left Bloomberg and didn’t realize he ended up at the Standard. But it makes sense since both he and Clifford worked at Business Week.”
