McClatchy names 3 publishers

The McClatchy Co. on Wednesday named new publishers at its papers in Wichita, Kan.; Columbus, Ga.; and Rock Hill, S.C., the Sacramento Business Journal reported.

Pam Siddall will move from the Ledger-Enquirer in Columbus to The Wichita Eagle. Siddall will replace Lou Heldman, who retired in September.

Taking Siddall's spot as publisher at the Ledger-Enquirer will be Valerie Canepa, who was publisher at The Herald in Rock Hill since 2003. Debbie Abels will replace Canepa in Rock Hill. Abels had been director of advertising operations and strategy at the Charlotte Observer in Charlotte, N.C.

All of the appointments are effective immediately.

Gary Pruitt, president of Sacramento-based McClatchy (NYSE: MNI), said it was gratifying to promote the publishers and president from within the newspaper chain.
