of interest to them, from diversity and readership to newsroom ethics and credibility."

Harshaw, editor, Springfield (Ohio) News-Sun and senior editor, Cox Community
Newspapers, said, "I'm delighted that Charlotte Hall will be an ASNE officer.
She certainly deserves it. She's very dedicated and hard-working and pleasant.
Her selection reflects the high regard in which she is held by her colleagues."
