Okay, we’re a week late on this, but we didn’t want to miss mentioning that John Ferraro is the new editor of the Hartford Business Journal. John voluntarily left the Hartford Courant last month. During his 10-year tenure he held a variety of posts but most recently was investigative editor. Among his accomplishments: guiding and editing two series that won back-to-back Sevellon Brown Public Service Awards from the New England Associated Press News Executives Association, a highly prestigious award the Courant received in 2008 for “No Haven for the Elderly,” the investigative series by Lisa Chedekel and Lynne Tuohy on Haven Healthcare, and in 2007 for “Unfit to Fight,” the series by Lisa Chedekel and Matt Kauffman on soldiers with mental and emotional defects that were redeployed to Iraq. John is also a veteran of the New Haven Register and the Norwalk Hour. You can read more about John here in the HBJ article announcing his hiring.
