Business North Carolina, a monthly business magazine based in Charlotte, has named David Mildenberg as its new editor.
In a posting on Facebook, Mildenberg wrote:
I started a new job today as editor of Business North Carolina in Charlotte. It is a monthly business magazine started in 1982 by Whitney Shaw, now CEO of American City Business Journals Inc. David Kinney has led the magazine for most of its history, producing smart, fearless journalism. I’m joining David and a great team. It was a privilege to work for Bloomberg News for seven years. It is the world’s best journalism organization.
Mildenberg joined the Business North Carolina staff as managing editor in 1990 and was executive editor when he left in 1994.
“After a 20-year absence, it’s great to have David back. During the two decades he was gone, he gained a wealth of experience that will prove valuable to our staff and readers,” says editor in chief David Kinney, who has been the magazine’s top editor since 1987. “Nobody knows North Carolina business like David Mildenberg, and he’s the right fit to lead Business North Carolina into a new era.”
Mildenberg had been covering Texas news for Bloomberg from its Austin bureau. He previously covered finance news for Bloomberg based in Charlotte. Before that, he was a reporter for the Charlotte Business Journal and an editor at the Triangle Business Journal in Raleigh.
He is a Northwestern graduate and has an MBA from UNC-Charlotte.
