Wow: Things happen fast in cyberspace. Here’s the executive edtitor’s note on the promotion of his staffer who wrote the post just below this one:

To the staff:

Please join me in congratulating Veronica Van Dress and Scott Brown on their promotions to assistant managing editor. Their promotions put the newsroom’s senior leadership team in place.

Veronica is AME/content. She will work with reporters and their editors in the collection and creation of content for print and online. She has the skills and the professional background to help us realize our “œnews now” goals at CantonRep.com. She has shown an ability to innovate and to lead. Veronica will continue to spend most of her time working in news ” about 80 percent” but also will work with Living Editor Gary Brown and our sports editor to fulfill our Project Cyber Fiber goals and to develop strong enterprise for Page A1.

Scott is AME/content delivery. Scott brings extraordinary design talent to his new role. He has a unique ability to craft designs that convey real information and meaning, a gift he will use in helping us strengthen our Page A1 presentation. He also brings an intimate knowledge of our desk operations to this new job, knowledge he’ll use in implementing our Project Cyber Fiber goals of delivering “news now” to CantonRep.com while continuing to make a quality daily newspaper. Graphics Editor Michael Weiss and Chief Photographer Stan Myers will report to Scott.

Scott will work over the next month to develop a structure for the Universal Desk. Look soon for more information about where he’s headed with that, including postings for newly cast jobs.

Jeff
