We’ll spend a few words giving credit where it’s due to a member of the Pacific Coast Business Times editorial team.

On April 1, Editor & Publisher, the leading trade publication for the newspaper industry, named Business Times Managing Editor Marlize van Romburgh to its 2013 class of “25 under 35,” an annual report on emerging leaders in the news business. E&P wrote that “The 25 young men and women featured on the following pages do their work with a level of passion and excitement that exists in few other industries.”

A Cal Poly San Luis Obispo graduate, Van Romburgh is the architect of our digital content and digital paywall initiatives, and she’s hard at work on new enhancements.

At the same time, she manages to cover the banking and commercial real estate beats and handles production on our main news section. I am sure you will join us in congratulating her. Well done, Marlize.
