Globe's Howe to join New England Cable News

Peter J. Howe, who has written more than 6,000 stories in his 22 years at The Boston Globe, will become a business reporter for the New England Cable News network next month, NECN said today.

Howe will replace Mont Fennel, NECN's business reporter for the past 16 years; Fennel is joining DigiNovations Inc., a Concord firm specializing in video production and Internet TV, NECN said.

At the Globe, the 42-year-old Howe has covered such beats as transportation, energy, airlines, travel and tourism, telecommunications, and technology.

For the last four years, he also has been editor or co-editor of the Globe 100, an annual special section that focuses on the top-performing publicly traded companies in Massachusetts.

Howe's work has won awards from the Associated Press and the Society of American Business Editors and Writers.
