San Antonio biz editor starts weekly column

Greg Jefferson

San Antonio Express-News business editor Greg Jefferson is starting a weekly column.

It will appear online on Thursdays and in print in the Sunday newspaper.

Express-News editor Marc Duvoisin writes, “Greg will analyze San Antonio’s economic strengths and weaknesses, tease insights out of data on jobs, housing starts and home sales, and introduce you to people who help shape our region’s economy.”

Jefferson rejoined the paper last year. He had been the editor in chief of the alternative newspaper, the San Antonio Current, since March 2018.

Jefferson first became the Express-News business editor in December 2012, just in time to launch the newspaper’s Sunday business section and stand-alone business pages on Monday.

Previously, he co-founded, edited and wrote for Plaza de Armas, an online journal of politics, business and the arts in San Antonio.

At the Express-News, in an eight-year run before PdA, he covered business, City Hall and politics, led the politics and government team as an assistant city editor, and wrote a Saturday column on local politics.

He also did two stints at the San Antonio Business Journal after moving to Texas from his home state of Indiana in 2000.
