Plain Dealer names new business editor

Mary Lou Brink, former interactive media and niche publications director for the Fort Wayne Newspapers in Fort Wayne, Ind., has been named the business editor of The Plain Dealer in Cleveland.

Janet Cho of the Plain Dealer writes, “Brink, an Ohio University graduate who grew up in Columbus, will oversee seven full-time business journalists who write for Ohio’s largest newspaper in print and online at cleveland.com.

“‘I am thrilled to join the high-quality editing ranks at The Plain Dealer, and I look forward to working with such a talented and multidimensional staff,’ Brink said via email. ‘This team of journalists is hands down one of the best, if not THE best, in the country, and I am honored to be among them.

“‘I’m excited to hit the ground running at such a legendary news organization. My traditional print background coupled with my recent experience directing news websites in Indiana, I hope, will serve the readers and users of The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com, respectively, well.”
