E.W. Scripps reorganizes newspaper unit

E.W. Scripps Co. promoted Frank Wolfe to vice president of operations as part of the publisher’s move to reorganize its newspaper division.
Wolfe, who formerly served as Scripps’ director of operations, will oversee all of the publisher’s production and circulation activities.
He will retain his base in suburban Denver.
Under the reorganization, Scripps divided its newspaper holdings into two groups. The larger dailies — the Commercial Appeal in Memphis, Tenn., the Knoxville (Tenn.) News-Sentinel, the Naples (Fla.) Daily News, Treasure Coast Newspapers in south Florida, the Ventura County (Calif.) Star and Corpus Christi (Texas) Caller-Times — will become regional media organizations.
The Evansville (Ind.) Courier & Press, the Anderson (S.C.) Independent-Mail, the Record Searchlight in Redding, Calif., the Kitsap Sun in Bremerton, Wash., and dailies in Abilene, Wichita Falls and San Angelo, Texas, will be called mid-sized media organizations.
Scripps also named Bruce Hartmann, the publisher of the News-Sentinel, to a newly created position overseeing advertising and circulation revenue.
Finally, Scripps promoted Rusty Coats to vice president for content and marketing; and Jim York to vice president of information technology. Robin Davis, vice president of finance and administration; and Mary Minser, vice president of human resources, had their duties expanded.
