Jake Winfrey, sports editor of The Cullman Times, has been named CNHI’s Alabama group sports editor. Just in time for football season, the newly created position became effective this month.
In his expanded role, Winfrey will share his award-winning reporting, photography and editing experience with The News Courier in Athens, Alabama, leading local sports coverage in both counties. Both the Courier and the Times are owned by Montgomery-based Community Newspaper Holdings Inc.
“Jake is the right person at the right time to take this leadership position,” said Tom Mayer, editor and general manager of CNHI’s Alabama group of newspapers. “Jake is not only an Alabama veteran sports editor and reporter, he tackles every assignment with the heart of an athlete and the soul of a coach. I couldn’t be happier now that he’s agreed to share his experience with Limestone County’s stellar programs. I know that North Alabama’s local sports coverage will continue to flourish under his watch.”
