ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ -- Daniel Jalil, assistant editor of The Produce News, based here, has been promoted to managing editor of the publication, effective Aug. 1.
Mr. Jalil, 26, joined The Produce News in May 2002 as assistant editor after graduating from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ, where he earned a bachelor's degree in English.

He is a bright and motivated individual who seeks out challenges, and I look forward to having him play a bigger part with The Produce News for years to come.
