New editor named at Washington Biz Journal

Mike Mills, formerly head of Congressional Quarterly’s online publishing, has been named editor of Washington Business Journal, according to a story posted on the paper’s web site.

The story stated, “Mills most recently was executive editor of electronic publishing at Congressional Quarterly Inc., handling editorial operations and product development for all CQ online products. His new position takes effect March 8.

“The Bethesda resident, who holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in journalism, began his career as a staff writer at CQ in 1988. He left in 1994 to join The Washington Post as a staff writer covering technology for the business section. He returned to CQ in 2001.

“‘When we began this search in early January, we set out to find a recognized business journalist who could continue to grow and expand the Business Journal,’ says Alex Orfinger, publisher of Washington Business Journal. ‘We’re lucky to find all of this in Mike Mills.'”

Mills succeeds Washington Business Journal editor John McCalla, who died unexpectedly from heart disease Jan. 5.
