Appeal realigns newsroom management
The Commercial Appeal on Sunday announced a realignment of its newsroom management structure. The changes are made in part, according to editor Chris Peck, to devote more resources to its five zoned editions, including The DeSoto Appeal, serving Southaven, Hernando and other communities in north Mississippi. Scott Sines, who joined the paper in 2003 from the Spokane (Wash.) Spokesman-Review as deputy editor, becomes managing editor. Several newsroom veterans have also taken on new or expanded roles at the Memphis metro.
