The Janesville (Wisconsin) Gazette newsroom is going through significant changes.
With the recent retirement of Regional Editor Sid Schwartz and the departure of Managing Editor Ann Fiore, Joel Patenaude has joined the staff as managing editor.
In announcing the appointment, Orestes Baez, regional president and publisher of APG-Southern Wisconsin Group and publisher of The Gazette, said: "We are evolving our team in many ways to use data about what interests readers online and in print to help us understand what our audience really wants.
"We want to make sure we plant the seeds that will grow into a longtime media source for our community while engaging in conversations that foster communication, collaboration, diversity and accountability among our readers and the communities we serve."
