Brian Cleveland Appointed Head of the Print Desk
Dear All,
I'm pleased to share that Brian Cleveland will become the head of our new print desk, effective today.
This is a crucial role in the remaking of the newsroom. Brian will be tasked with building and then running a self-contained print desk, staffed to keep the paper lively, strong and engaging, while keeping it downstream from the rest of the news day. After the desk is built in the second half of this year, Brian and his team of roughly two dozen will oversee daily print production. The team will ensure our print product remains an important pillar for many years, while also facilitating deeper digital engagement for the rest of the newsroom.
Brian, a 13-year veteran of The Post, is well situated to take on a role that requires news judgment and leadership. He has been multiplatform editing chief since last fall, overseeing the copy editors who are responsible for editing most of the newsroom's content as well as transmitting stories for our News Service. Brian has been integral to Project Gemini and our ongoing discussions about workflow and production changes. Brian has strong relationships across the newsroom, and will remain engaged in that work in his new role.
Before coming to The Post, Brian was the copy desk chief at the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk and a copy editor at the Duluth News Tribune in Minnesota. He graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in journalism.
In this new role, he will report to me, with a dotted line to Gregg Fernandes.
Please join me in congratulating Brian on this big step forward for The Post.
