New Business Journal editor
Mark Sutter, who as much as anyone has helped shape our news report over the past decade, will become the editor of the Business Journal.
It doesn't come as a surprise. Nearly 18 years ago, Mark came here as a business reporter and later was business editor. If I were the publisher of the Biz Journal, I'd hire Mark. A short list of his accomplishments here:
* He was metro editor/Greensboro editor for seven years, smoothly steering our local news coverage through tremendous change, including a couple staff realignments and redesigns
* He has had a hand in every big news story in the Triad since the 90's
* He developed dozens of reporters and editors, many of whom have gone on to bigger jobs at bigger papers
* He was the author of our Town Square plan that has guided much of our recent innovation
When he left, he was i helping develop some new ventures for us and was in the middle of a updating Lex's Public Square white paper. We'll miss that, but I plan to continue to plumb his thinking on things, even as he is a competitor now.

I will miss Mark. He's a class act.

I wouldn't be so sure, Sue. I 'spect he might explore some ideas about their web presence.

As one of Mark's sisters, I can tell you that his entire family is extremely proud of him, and we wish him the very best in his new position with the Business Journal. He has always been willing to share his many talents including his high work ethics and trustworthy, dedicated ways. We thank the Greensboro News and Record for their compassion when Mark needed it most and for their well wishes as he pursues new ventures.
