Walters, Kieffer to lead Journal newsroom

Posted

Elizabeth Walters and Chris Kieffer have been named to lead the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal's news department in Tupelo.

Walters will serve as daily editor and digital editor, while Kieffer was named opinion editor and Sunday section editor. They will work together to divide the executive editor responsibilities.

"In today's 24/7 news cycle, and as we deliver more products to more people and on more platforms, it takes a different focus from multiple people," said William Bronson, publisher and CEO of Journal, Inc. and the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. "We have two highly trained professionals with digital backgrounds and skill sets. It will allow us to focus on a daily news product that serves Lee County and Tupelo and the surrounding areas and our digital platform, but will also give us the ability to focus on a Sunday product that is more regional and provides a deeper read."
