Plain Dealer Publisher Terry Egger made the announcement today.
Goldberg, 47, has led the Mercury News for the past four years, and has been a journalist for more than 25 years at major newspapers nationwide. She will succeed Doug Clifton, who announced his retirement and will leave The Plain Dealer on May 15.
Goldberg becomes the first female editor of The Plain Dealer.
"Susan is one of the great leaders and journalistic talents in our industry and we are thrilled she will be joining us," Egger said. "She is smart, full of energy, realistic and very excited about the rapidly changing world of journalism we live in today. The Plain Dealer and the people in the community we serve deserve the very best. Doug Clifton and our newsroom team set a high standard here and our goal in the search process was to be sure that, in the end, we appointed one of the top editors in America...and we have done just that."
Goldberg is a native of Ann Arbor and earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Michigan State University.
During her career, in addition to the Mercury News, she has also served in a variety of managerial, editor and reporter positions at USA Today, The Detroit Free Press and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
