New editor named at Tennessee business journal

Liz Engel Clark has been named the editor of the Cumberland Business Journal in Tennessee, according to a story in the Cookeville Times.

Andrew Steele writes, “She previously worked as a news reporter at the Herald-Citizen. Clark replaces Greg Little, who recently accepted another job opportunity in Pennsylvania.

“‘We’re extremely excited to have Liz come on board with us, especially given her experience in writing about community business-related issues,’ said Jay Albrecht, CBJ publisher. ‘I firmly believe Liz will help continue the CBJ’s tradition of providing a one-of-a-kind publication helping businesses to survive and thrive in the Upper Cumberland region.’

“Clark, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, studied at Tennessee Tech University and graduated summa cum laude in December 2005 with a bachelor’s of science degree in English-journalism.

“Pre- and post-graduation, she worked as a marketing intern at Averitt Express before joining the Herald-Citizen staff in April 2006. She covered city and county government and was awarded a Tennessee Press Association award in 2009 for investigative reporting and the 2009 Kids Count media award from the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth for her writing. During her tenure, she also served as the paper’s special sections editor, business editor and living editor.”
