New publisher in Ventura
He's George Cogswell III, who succeeds long-timer Tim Gallagher at the Ventura County Star, an E.W. Scripps-owned paper. Cogswell had been president and publisher of the Abilene Reporter-News, also a Scripps paper, for four-and-a-half years (we're talking some real culture shock). He's covered the circuit, working for three small papers in Florida and the Wichita Falls Times Record News. Gallagher is establishing his own media consulting business. (AP)
