Sinha promoted to Washington Biz Journal ME

Vandana Sinha

Washington Business Journal editor Doug Fruehling sent out the following announcement to the staff on Wednesday:

Hi everyone —
I am thrilled to announce that Vandana Sinha has been promoted to managing editor, effective immediately.
Vandana has excelled in her role as AME during the last five-plus years, taking our print edition to new heights, crafting award-winning headlines that make you chuckle and ensuring our cover stories are among the best in the company. She is a top-notch journalist, proven leader and teacher, and she brings a sensitivity and empathy to news coverage that is all too rare in our field.
Vandana started at WBJ in 2006 as health care/biotech reporter and began editing special sections just a few years into her tenure. She previously worked as a business reporter at  The Virginian-Pilot, the daily newspaper in Hampton Roads, and Government Computer News, then owned by The Washington Post Co. She was also a project manager and associate editor for the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism at the American Press Institute.
Please join me in congratulating Vandana on this well-earned and deserved promotion.
