Mizell explains:

Mizell Stewart

“Well, friends, it's official: When the spinoff of the Scripps newspaper division is completed in the next month or two, I'll be joining the new Journal Media Group as managing director of content. 

"I'll spend a little less time at home as I commute to the new headquarters in Milwaukee each month, but the tradeoff is the opportunity to work with my good friend George Stanley and the talented team at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. On to the next adventure!”

Wisconsin–based Journal Communications will merge its 13 television stations and 35 radio stations into Cincinnati-based Scripps. Both companies will spin off their newspaper assets into a new publicly traded company, Journal Media Group.

Mizell is vice president/content of the newspaper division of E.W. Scripps.

Mizell Stewart III was BJ managing editor before he left to become editor of the Evansville (Indiana) Courier & Press.

Twinsburg native and Bowling Green graduate Mizell worked in Tallahassee, Florida before coming to the BJ in 2006.

He lives in West Chester Township, which is near Middletown and Hamilton and Cincinnati.
