Miami Herald biz editor leaves post

Lisa Gibbs is leaving her post as the editor of The Miami Herald’s business sections for a job at Money magazine, where she worked before joining the paper in 2004.
In today’s paper she wrote a goodbye letter to her readers:

“I feel like most of my time here has been spent on two H-words: hurricanes and housing. When I walked into the Herald newsroom in September 2004, it was right after Hurricane Frances. From that busy season through the wallop of Katrina and Wilma, covering the impact of those storms on gas, insurance, electricity and really just about everything occupied a fair portion of our energy.
But of course the big story was real estate. I recall being amazed at the nearly-daily announcements of yet one more towering condo and this sense permeating water-cooler chat everywhere that we were all getting rich.”
