Biz staff changes

Last week's layoffs at The Gazette resulted in two business writers leaving the staff: Jim Bainbridge and Sarah Colwell. Next week, a new face will join the staff - though he's no stranger to Colorado Springs. Bill Radford has been an award-winning journalist for nearly 30 years, working at newspapers including the Las Vegas Review-Journal, El Paso Herald-Post and Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He has been at The Gazette for 18 years, starting on the copy desk. Before joining the business staff, he wrote for several years for the Life section. You may not recognize him without his Spider-Man mask; he's also the Comics Fan columnist. You can contact him at bill.radford@gazette.com.
