New biz editor named in Memphis

Roland Klose has been named the business editor at the Memphis Commercial Appeal. He replaces James Overstreet, who left last month.

A story on the paper’s Web site states, “Klose joined The CA in 1989 as a business reporter, covering transportation, labor and other subjects. In 1996, he became assistant business editor.

“In 1998, Klose left Memphis to work for The Tampa Tribune, where he was assistant business editor in charge of the Tuesday-through-Saturday daily sections. He later served as managing editor of The Riverfront Times in St. Louis, and editor at the Illinois Times in Springfield, Ill.

“‘I’m excited to be part of The CA, especially during a time of change, and look forward to serving our readers,’ Klose said.

“Beginning last September, Klose has assisted with the launch of Going Green, the Web-only environmental weekly of The Commercial Appeal. He will continue as editor of Going Green.”
