Post-Dispatch biz editor departs paper

Lisa Brown, the business editor at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, has left the paper.

Her last day was Friday. She had been business editor since January 2018.

“I’m grateful for all the sources and colleagues who crossed my path over the years. More to share on my next adventure in the coming weeks,” she wrote on Twitter.

She joined the Post-Dispatch in 2010, after spending five years at the St. Louis Business Journal. Prior to that, she reported for a business trade magazine and Pioneer Press newspapers in Chicago. Over the years she has covered beer, commercial real estate, development, local companies such as Energizer and Nestle Purina, and general business news.

She graduated from Washington University with a degree in English and political science. Not only was she a reporter for Student Life, the WashU student newspaper, she recently returned as an adjunct journalism instructor.
