Ottawa Biz Journal editor leaving

Jim Donnelly, the editor of the Ottawa Business Journal, is leaving the paper for a job at a local media analytics and measurement firm.

Staff writer Peter Kovessy will take over on an interim basis, with a full-time successor to be named in the coming weeks.

Donnelly writes, “My first story in OBJ – a feature item on white-collar professionals moonlighting as electronic music promoters and DJs – ran way back in 2005, when then-editor Leo Valiquette took a chance on a scruffy, pierced freelance journalist who had just returned from a backpacking trip to India (that would be me).

“Since then, I’ve been involved with OBJ and its various sister publications in all sorts of capacities. I’ve been privileged enough to learn a ton about business, and what makes people in business tick.

“But it’s over the past three years, as editor-in-chief, that I’ve really gotten to sink my teeth into the intricacies of the business community.”
