Big shoes to fill
Amy Joyner, a reporter who has been with us since 1999, has resigned to write books. She's been a leader in broadening the readership appeal of our business coverage. She's also got one book to her credit already: "Making Dough: The 12 Secret Ingredients to Krispy Kreme's Sweet Success."
Business editor Dick Barron said this: "Amy has been with us for 5 years and has made a real impact. Most recently, she helped us develop the Work & Money section into a lively, readable page with lots of great ideas, great writing and a strong appeal to a broad spectrum of readers. Beyond writing her 'Savvy Shopper' column, Amy has assisted me in keeping good ideas on the page, and has become a strong backup for me in general."
Indeed, we'll miss her in the paper and inside our newsroom. Fortunately for us, she's married to reporter Bruce Buchanan so we'll still get to see her around.
