After three years as news editor for the Jasper County weeklies, Jamee A. Pierson has been named editor of the Newton Daily News in Iowa. The announcement was made following the departure of former editor Pam Pratt.
Also announced this week, Christopher Braunschweig has moved into the role of associate editor for the Newton News. Braunschweig came to the paper three years ago, taking over for Pierson on the city beat and adding to his repertoire along the way.
