The South Bend (Indiana) Tribune will have a new executive editor on Aug. 1.
Ismail Turay Jr. is coming from Ohio and 22 years of working in a range of positions for a company of newspapers, with his latest role as editor of the Springfield News-Sun since last October.
"Ismail Turay is the perfect person to lead the South Bend newsroom and to foster relationships with our readers and the community," said Mary Irby-Jones, who is the Midwest regional editor overseeing Gannett's Midwest properties, including the South Bend Tribune. "I’m excited to see him build on the legacy of excellence this newsroom has established in the community.”
