Frank Barrows, the former managing editor of the Charlotte Observer, has been hired to be the executive editor of Business North Carolina, a monthly magazine also based in Charlotte. (Disclosure: I write freelance articles for Business North Carolina, including a monthly sports business column.)
Barrows retired from the Observer last spring after a 30-year career at the paper. Since that time, he was interim executive director of the N.C. Open Government Coalition. Barrows was known in the newsroom for strapping himself to a chair, often with his own belt, while writing to force himself to complete the task.
The magazine is looking for a young business writer interested in being mentored by Barrows and Kinney. For more information, contact Kinney at kinney@businessnc.com.
