Winges moving from newsroom to IT


Bruce Winges

Bruce Winges, night managing editor, will leave the newsroom in April to help run the day-to-day operations in the information technology department. A 23-year newsroom veteran, Winges has held a number of key roles since joining the newspaper in 1982. In addition to night managing editor, he has been assistant managing editor, executive news editor, metro editor and assistant news editor.

“Bruce commands respect in the newsroom and throughout the building,” said Editor Debra Adams Simmons. “His commitment to journalistic excellence night in and night out will be missed. But we’re happy he’ll be down the hall.” Winges’ responsibilities as night managing editor will be divided between Mark Turner, Susan Kirkman and Mike Burbach.
