Eric Deggans, the media critic of the St. Petersburg Times, reports that longtime business journalist Helen Huntley is among those leaving the paper via a buyout.
Huntley, the personal finance editor, has been with the paper for more than 30 years after getting her bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Florida. She also has a master’s degree in political science from the University of South Florida. Helen writes about investments, income taxes, personal finance and the economy.
