You remember Kevin Bumgarner. He was the editor of the Dallas Business Journal until recently. He left under unhappy conditions. The publisher, Lisa Bormaster, didn’t have much to say about it at the time. Well, now comes news that Bumgarner has landed at the Pacific Business News. That’s a newspaper based in Honolulu. Don’t know if you’ve been to Honolulu. I haven’t. But I think it has better weather than Dallas does. Here’s what I find interesting about the move: the Pacific Business News is owned by American City Business Journals, the same outfit that owns the Dallas Business Journal. So why would a company fire a guy at one of its papers and then hire him at another where the weather is better? In any case, Bumgarner wins.
