He replaces Marlene Kennedy, who was laid off by the paper last month. Anderson has been covering aviation, manufacturing, transportation and other business stories.
Anderson has been a deputy business editor at the paper. Kennedy had been editor of the crosstown Capital District Business Review before joining the Times Union. She also wrote a regular column for the daily.
