Crain’s Chicago Business names first female editor

Veteran journalist Ann Dwyer became the first female editor of Crain's Chicago Business since the publication launched 41 years ago.

Dwyer, 54, joined Crain's in 1995 as a copy editor, moving up in the ranks to managing editor in 2016.

“I owe so much to the editors and publishers who mentored me for more than two decades at Crain’s. I wouldn’t be ready to take on this challenge if it wasn’t for them,” Dwyer said. “Perhaps because I’ve been with Crain’s for so long, I have a deep appreciation for the legacy that’s being placed in my hands.”
