ASNE on the move
ASNE hires new communications director
ASNE has named Kevin Wilcox as its new communications director.
Wilcox comes to ASNE from the National Association of Counties, where he
was a senior writer for the organization’s bi-weekly tabloid, County News.
Wilcox covered Capitol Hill and Supreme Court developments that affected
county government.
“This is an exciting and challenging time for newspapers and I’m happy
to be a part of it,” said Wilcox, who will be responsible for The American
Editor, ASNE’s magazine that focuses on issues faced by the nation’s top
newspaper editors.
Wilcox’s journalism career started in 1987, when he was editor of The
Daily Athenaeum at West Virginia University.
After graduation he moved to The Dominion Post, a daily in Morgantown,
W. Va., where he was a bureau reporter and a copy editor.
After a two-year stint as a writer/editor at a U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency clearinghouse, Wilcox returned to West Virginia University for a
master’s degree in journalism, where he focused on news-editorial.
Wilcox replaces Craig Branson, who became ASNE’s online director
in June.
Branson will oversee the Web site of a new initiative funded by the
Knight Foundation to improve the waning health of high school journalism
programs.
