Rene Sanchez, a Louisiana native and award-winning journalist, will be the next editor of The Times-Picayune, The Advocate and NOLA.com. The current editor, Peter Kovacs, who led the paper to an unprecedented expansion throughout southeast Louisiana and its first Pulitzer Prize, is retiring after nine years at the helm.
quote:
Sanchez, 56, is currently the editor of the Star Tribune in Minneapolis. He has led that newsroom for eight years and previously served as managing editor. During his tenure, he supervised an investigative report on child deaths in poorly regulated day care homes that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2013. The Star Tribune also won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News in 2021 for coverage of the murder of George Floyd and it has been named a Pulitzer finalist twice in the past five years for other local reporting.
quote:
The Star Tribune is an industry leader in building a base of paid digital subscriptions. It has signed up more than 100,000 online subscribers over ten years. The Times-Picayune, The Advocate and NOLA.com, which began a digital subscription program less than three years ago, have more than a quarter of that number, and have been growing by about 100 subscribers a day in recent months.
quote:
Sanchez will begin work this spring while Kovacs will stay on for a year as a consultant and advisor. Sanchez and Westenberg have a daughter who is a sophomore at Tulane University and his parents live in River Ridge.

Because when I want someone over a quality newspaper to come down here, I immediately say “Who’s over the Strib?”

Here is some unsolicited business advice for them:
Make a subscription based on the way an article is tagged and allow people to purchase it for a fraction of the price of a full subscription.
Also, make a la carte article purchase an option.
I would pay $2 a month for LSU Baseball articles. I would also pay $.25 here and there for articles of interest.

Kovacs and that paper are an abomination.

Based on the hard left politics of Minn. I am sure that the editor of the local paper will be conservative, right?

The Advocate is PATHETIC....except for the Sports section! Stephanie Grace made me so very nauseated!
I discontinued my subscription several years ago!

The Executive staff at the Advocate wants you to know that you're all products of systematic racism, made to keep the black man down.
Sincerely,

You don't spend that much time in the blue zone and not come back tainted.
He will be a perfect fit for the Advocate.

Will it alter its use as a fire starter? Because that’s about the only use I’ve found for it.
