PITTSFORD, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GateHouse Media, LLC (“GateHouse Media” or the “Company”) announced

president of news, effective immediately. Church, a respected industry
veteran, known for his visionary leadership, has served in his current
role since 2016.

“Leading one of the largest newsrooms among GateHouse’s 470 daily and

Previously, Church served as executive editor of the company’s
award-winning Sarasota Herald-Tribune, which received the 2016 Pulitzer
Prize for investigative reporting for its year-long collaboration with
the Tampa Bay Times detailing the horrific conditions in Florida’s
mental hospitals.

“I am very excited to work with Bill again after our very successful
time together at the Herald-Tribune in Sarasota,” said Pat Dorsey,
Publisher of the Austin American-Statesman and Regional Vice President
for GateHouse Media. “He has a well-earned reputation as an innovative
and collaborative leader with a passion for impactful community
journalism. I look forward to matching his passion and vision with the
already high performing news team at the Austin American-Statesman to
take our journalism to new heights and best serve the Austin community.”

Church is a former president of Associated Press Media Editors, a 2016
Knight Visiting Nieman Fellow at Harvard and a two-time Pulitzer jurist.
