Jack Weatherly, formerly the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette business editor before being moved to a senior business writer position in 2012, has left the paper to return to his home state of Mississippi. The Mississippi Business Journal announced the move in a story on its website.
Editor Ross Reily was quoted as saying the paper was “very lucky to have someone as talented and experienced as Jack.”
Weatherly graduated from the University of Memphis in 1973 and went on to work at several newspapers, including the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Clarion-Ledger in Jackson, Mississippi, before joining the Democrat-Gazette as business editor at the beginning of 2002.
