Posted

A veteran publishing executive who also has worked extensively on the news side of the business has been named the new president and publisher of The News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C.

Sara Glines is joining The News & Observer from Gannett Co. Inc., where she was president of the Atlantic Group, overseeing eight daily newspapers plus non-dailies in Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania. At the same time, she also was the president and publisher of the York Daily Record, a York, Pa., newspaper with a Sunday circulation of nearly 50,000.

The appointment of Glines, the first female publisher in The N&O's long history, was announced by the paper's corporate parent, The McClatchy Co. of Sacramento, Calif. Glines succeeds Orage Quarles III, who retired in June at age 65 after serving as the paper's publisher for 16 years.

Glines, who assumes her new role at The N&O on Sept. 26, takes over as the paper is transitioning from print to digital.
