“Silva has shown her passion for business journalism as a commercial real estate reporter, while demonstrating her readiness for a new challenge, Editor Tony Quesada said.

“‘In the short time I have been here, Tricia has impressed me as a leader in the newsroom,’ he said. ‘It’s her time to step up to a new role.’
