News Journal in Delaware losing two biz reporters

The Wilmington (Delaware) News Journal, a Gannett newspaper, is losing two business reporters to other jobs, according to a story on Delaware Business Now.

Corporate business reporter Jeff Mordock is joining the Washington Times. Mordock’s position will reportedly not be filled, leaving the state’s largest newspaper with one business reporter, according to the article.

The story states, “Jeff Neiburg, who worked for the NJ’s sister paper, The Daily Times in Salisbury, MD will become the business reporter, with former NJ business reporter Scott Goss taking over statehouse duties.

“The key position of business editor was eliminated a few years ago in a move imposed by parent Gannett Co.”
