Ben van der Meer has been hired by the Sacramento Business Journal to cover real estate.
Editor Jack Robinson writes, “Ben most recently was a staff writer at the Appeal-Democrat in Marysville. He also has worked as a business reporter at the Modesto Bee and for an ambitious but ill-fated Sacramento political news website called PolitickerCA.com.
“He replaces Sanford Nax, who left in January to join the California Environmental Protection Agency.
“We’ve recently reconfigured some beats here at the Business Journal, so Ben’s portfolio is a bit different from Sandy’s. In addition to real estate and construction, he’ll watch over transportation and agriculture. Ben also will take the lead in covering local and regional planning matters.
“In the coming weeks, Ben will be reaching out to key industry leaders, but I’d encourage anyone who’d like to get in touch to contact him directly.”
