Cheryl Powell, in Summit County almost all her life, was promoted from managing editor to Akron Beacon Journal executive editor, where she has spent the last 27 years.

She also handles the BJ web site and is regional editor for the Canton Repository, Ravenna Record-Courier, Alliance Review and Massillon Independent.

Cheryl replaced Michael Shearer, who left to be executive editor of the Beacon’s sister paper, The Columbus Dispatch.

Powell, whose family moved to Twinsburg when she was 1, has lived in Summit County since, with the exception of attending college at Kent State University and a brief stint at the Lexington Herald-Leader in Kentucky.
