Commercial Daily News is published by Richard Sheppard and edited by Kathleen Greene. The senior editorial staff are listed below with their responsibilities and locations.
Richard is the publisher of Commercial Daily News, working from Fort Worth. His background is in media and business operations, and he holds responsibility for the site's overall direction, financial sustainability, and the independence of the editorial operation from the commercial side of the site. He leaves the day-to-day editorial decisions to the newsroom and writes an occasional column on the business of journalism.
Kathleen leads the newsroom from Syracuse. Her career spans more than fifteen years in editorial leadership at regional and national publications, with a background that includes reporting on politics, state government, and federal courts before she moved into editing. She sets the standards for what runs on the site, oversees the corrections record, and is the final authority on questions of what Commercial Daily News will and will not publish.
Jerry manages the day-to-day operations of the newsroom from Mobile. He came to the publication after twelve years at a Gulf-region daily, where he rose from city desk reporter to assistant managing editor with stops on the politics and copy desks. He is responsible for the editorial calendar, story assignments, and the flow of publication across the desks.
Patricia runs the business and economy desk from Reno. Her reporting career includes more than a decade covering business, finance, and labor at regional daily newspapers and a national business publication. She is the editor most likely to reach for the underlying numbers on a story and the one who insists on distinguishing what a company has actually announced from what its press release wants readers to think it announced.
Bruce oversees the publication's standards program from Dayton. He handles fact-checking on sensitive material, manages the corrections record, and serves as the point of contact for readers and named subjects who identify errors in published pieces. His background is on copy desks and in fact-checking at regional daily newspapers, and he is the in-house authority on the publication's stylebook.
Teresa edits the features section from Fresno. Her career includes more than a decade of feature writing and editing at national publications and regional newspapers, with a particular interest in food, travel, and the everyday economics of American households. She is the editor who reaches for the narrative angle on a story that could otherwise run straight, and she is responsible for a substantial share of the long-form work published on the site.
