Nevada Press Association The best in Nevada journalism since 1924
Reno Gazette-Journal publisher John Maher, president of RGJ Media, is taking over as president of Oregonian Media Group, which operates The Oregonian newspaper and OregonLive website in Portland, the RGJ announced Thursday.
Maher has been in Reno for five years. Before that he served as publisher of the Lincoln Journal Star in Nebraska and in leadership positions at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Kansas City Star, according to the story.
He’s been a busy guy during his Reno stint and a great help to the Nevada Press Association, including serving as master of ceremonies at the awards banquet last year in Sparks. We wish him the best of luck in Oregon.
