IBR Managing Editor resigns 

Managing Editor John M. Foster has resigned at the Idaho Business Review to become executive director of the Idaho Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party is expected to make the announcement sometime today.

Prior to being offered the position, Foster was on an extended leave of absence while he interviewed for the job.

Rick Carpenter, vice president and publisher of the Idaho Business Review, said Foster went on the unpaid leave of absence when he notified the publisher that he was going to apply for the position. Carpenter said the newspaper is politically independent and wants to support political candidates and policies that encourage business development regardless of political affiliation.

Foster joined the Idaho Business Review last year as the paper’s managing editor. He led the redesign of this Web site last November. A Boise native, John returned to Idaho from New Mexico, where he served as news editor of the Rio Grande Sun.

Carpenter said he has begun searching for a new managing editor.
