Pittsburgh Biz Journal editor Burns departs

Howard Burns

Howard Burns, the editor of the Pittsburgh Business Journal, is leaving the American City Business Journals paper.

Burns writes, “They say you can’t go home again. Well, I sure as heck am going to try.

“Friday, Nov. 3, is my last day as editor of the Business Times. I’m heading back to the New York metro area where I spent all but two of my first 24 years to run the editorial department of a similar news organization.

“The decision was hard in the sense I’ll no longer be working with some really top-notch individuals across our company. Good people. Hard workers. True Pittsburghers, through and through.

“Leaving parent American City Business Journals also is difficult. Even after more than three decades in the publishing business, I’ve not stopped learning on the job in the five-plus years I’ve been employed by ACBJ.”
