Effective with this week’s editions, longtime aviation journalist and editor Joy Finnegan joins the staff as editor-in-chief of AVweb. Prior to coming aboard, Finnegan has been—and will remain—editor of Aviation Maintenance Magazine and she served as editor at Rotor & Wing Magazine. She also has experience in the industry in contract administration, flight training and airline and charter flying.
In addition to her editing work, Finnegan has flown for a regional airline and has flight time in numerous piston and jet aircraft. She’s an ATP-CFII. She will oversee AVweb’s expanding news coverage in general and business aviation.
“We’re happy to have Joy aboard as editor-in-chief,” said Tim Cole, AVweb’s editorial director and Belvoir Media Group’s editorial vice president. “She brings a rare mix of aviation and editorial experience that will serve our diverse readership well.” Finnegan is based in Atlanta. Russ Niles will continue to edit Canadian Aviator and we wish him the best.
