BizTimes Media promotes editors

There are two exciting personnel changes at BizTimes Media. Andrew Weiland has been promoted to editor and Molly Dill has been appointed to the managing editor position. These changes were made after the recent departure of executive editor Steve Jagler to the Journal Sentinel, where he’ll serve as business editor. I’m grateful for the many years of service Steve gave to BizTimes. His most important legacy is that he left BizTimes with a highly talented editorial team.

A Wisconsin native and a University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate, Andrew has been with BizTimes for 11 years, serving as managing editor. He is a highly respected journalist in the community and is especially known for his award-winning and extensive coverage of southeastern Wisconsin’s commercial real estate industry. He has developed a rich network of sources and regularly breaks news in his Real Estate Weekly e-newsletter.

Managing editor Molly Dill, a Marquette University graduate, has spent her entire journalism career in Wisconsin. Molly, an outstanding journalist in her own right, has been with BizTimes for four years and has recently served as associate editor. For the past two years, along with her focus on the financial services beat, Molly has served as the editor of the BizTimes Daily, our mid-day news bulletin. Molly also has led the editorial team, in collaboration with our production team, to streamline many of our internal processes related to the magazine.

The future looks very bright at BizTimes Media with these two young and energetic leaders heading up our growing editorial team. Please introduce yourselves to them, as I know they will be looking to meet you to learn about the latest news, trends and best business practices in your industry.

BizTimes celebrates its 20th year in 2015. I want to thank our customers, partners, suppliers and sources. Without your trust in us, none of this would have been possible.

With your support, we have grown significantly from our beginnings as a monthly magazine with our first issue in April 1995. We currently publish our magazine, BizTimes Milwaukee, every other Monday. We also have a robust online presence with our website, BizTimes.com and two daily and two weekly e-newsletters. And we have grown in the area of events, where today we produce or are partners with 20 events, including our annual BizExpo. We also publish two annual supplements – The Giving Guide and our statewide economic development print and online magazine, WisconsinBiz.

We are always looking for ways we can better serve you and this region’s business community. If you have any story ideas, general thoughts, comments or suggestions, I encourage you to contact Andrew at andrew.weiland@biztimes.com or Molly at molly.dill@biztimes.com or contact me at dan.meyer@biztimes.com or call 414-336-7114.
