Sacramento Bee editor leaves paper

TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE

Wayne Davis, the business editor at the Sacramento Bee for the past year, left the paper for a job with the state government, according to sources at the paper.

Although his voice mail at the paper still was functioning on Saturday, a message sent to his e-mail address elicited the response: “I am no longer the business editor.  Please contact Deputy Business Editor Jerry Eagan at jeagan@sacbee.com.”

The paper has yet to name a replacement for Davis.

Davis became the business editor in May 2008 after spending time as deputy business editor behind Cathie Anderson, who became features editor. Two months after Davis took over the desk, the standalone business section during the week was cut by the paper.

Davis had been the No. 2 person on the business desk for the previous two and a half years. Before that, he ran a suburban bureau for the Bee in Elk Grove, Calif., for about three and a half years. He’s a graduate of the University of Missouri.
