Chris Buxton has been appointed as the new editor of the Gazette & Herald in Yorkshire.
Currently assistant editor at the Evening Press in York, Chris will take over from Bob McMillan who will retire from the Gazette & Herald later this year.
Chris (pictured) has worked at the Evening Press since 1988, when he joined the paper as a news sub-editor.
In recent years he has been a key player in a number of projects including the paper’s conversion to a new compact format, the growth of niche publications and the development of www.thisisyork.co.uk.
Liz Page, managing director of Newsquest (York) which publishes the Gazette & Herald, said: “The G&H already enjoys an excellent circulation performance and Chris will focus on further opportunities for growth.
“The good team spirit on the paper will provide a springboard from which to take the paper forward.
“I wish him every success.”
