Ron Stodghill, a senior editor for Fortune Small Business, is leaving the magazine to become a feature writer for the New York Times’ Sunday business section, according to a memo posted on the Romenesko web site.
The memo stated, “Ron is a gifted, sensitive narrative writer who has covered topics ranging from the automobile industry, Oprah Winfrey, health care, shrimp fishermen and urban affairs to the Columbine shootings, Tiger Woods, AIDS, the Promise Keepers and adolescent promiscuity. He is the co-author of former Congressman Kweisi Mfume’s 1997 memoir, ‘No Free Ride.’ Next March, HarperCollins plans to publish ‘Redbone,’ Ron’s investigative exploration of the murder of an Atlanta millionaire. In January, he will receive an MFA in non-fiction writing from Queens University in Charlotte, N.C., the city where he currently lives.
“Here’s what we’re all getting with Ron: an imaginative, collegial, sharp-minded journalist with wonderful ideas and an intuitive sense of how to structure them and make them come alive on the page.”
