Our Blog: where do you stand?

People to Know at the P-D

By: Christi Dixon | 12/04/2007

Jamie Riley, letters editor at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, was kind enough to lend me her ear today to discuss the inner workings of the Post-Dispatch's Editorial Department. The Standing team learned some time ago about an incoming editorial page editor, but thanks to Jamie, we now know a bit more. For those of you doing business in St. Louis, these are folks you'll want to know.

- Christine Bertelson has officially transitioned to features. We wish her the best of luck.

- Jamie is covering letters exclusively. (FYI, letters to the editor are now in real time; respond quickly and concisely.)

-Eric Mink remains the Commentary Editor; he's the recipient of all op-eds and position pieces.

-Kevin Horrigan was recently promoted to Deputy Editorial Page Editor. Congrats!

-Gilbert Bailon is serving as the new Editorial Page editor. He joined the paper from Dallas. Jamie mentioned that he's eager to learn more about St. Louis.

There's also the opportunity to engage with Jamie online. Thanks again, Jamie!
