Former Chicago Sun-Times biz editor dies

Editor & Publisher reports that Mary Myers, who became a business editor at the Chicago Sun-Times in the 1970s when female editors at major newspapers were uncommon, has died from pneumonia complications at age 71.
Myers was hired at the Sun-Times in 1973, and from 1978 until 1984 she was deputy financial editor. In the 1980s, she also worked on the financial copy desk and then as a business editor at the Washington Post.
"She was a path-breaker," said Alan Mutter, a former city editor at the newspaper. "She was terribly good at her work; she was an excellent editor in all respects."
