Triangle Biz Journal hires Graham as new real estate reporter

Ben Graham

Ben Graham has been hired by the Triangle Business Journal to be its new commercial real estate reporter.

He starts Nov. 14.

He replaces Amanda Hoyle, who left the paper earlier this year after nearly 16 years for a position at Metrostudy’s Raleigh division.

Graham previously worked at the Jackson Hole News & Guide in Wyoming as a local and state politics reporter. For the past year, he has been freelancing.

Graham is a graduate of Davidson College in political science and government.

“He went to Columbia to get a master’s in journalism and his wife is in graduate school at Duke, which is what brought him to the Triangle,” said Triangle Business Journal managing editor Dane Huffman. “So we were fortunate he was here and he had the right background and interests for the job.”
