Colin Pope, the managing editor of the Austin Business Journal in Texas, has been promoted to editor, according to a short story on the paper’s Web site.
The story stated, Pope “joined the Austin Business Journal in 1998 as a staff writer — mostly covering government, health care and law — and has more than 12 years of experience in journalism.
“Prior to his management of the Austin Business Journal’s newsroom, Pope worked as director of corporate communications at Austin-based NetSpend Corp., and as the communications manager at Strategic Partnerships Inc.
“‘I look forward to continuing to steer the Austin Business Journal in an exciting direction,’ Pope says. ‘I take a lot of pride in the fact that, as other newspapers around the country struggle to keep subscribers, staff and pages, the business journal is making significant gains and only getting stronger. We’ll continue to provide readers with in-depth coverage of local, breaking business news via our weekly print edition, and readers should keep an eye out for major improvements soon for our Web site and hugely popular daily email news blast.'”
