0

Cox Media Group has announced that their Ohio Market VP Julia Wallace will be retiring from the company at the end of the year.

Wallace joined Cox in 2000 as Managing Editor of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution. She was promoted to Editor in July of 2002. Wallace was named Editor of the Year by Editor & Publisher magazine in 2004, and was inducted into the Medill School of Journalism Hall of Achievement and received the Alumni Merit Award from Northwestern University in 2006.

CMG Executive VP Mike Jospeh said, “Julia has had a remarkable career, leading the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as its editor for a decade and then spearheading the CMG Ohio convergence effort in Dayton – bringing TV, radio, and newspapers together as a successful and innovative media business. During her five and a half years in Dayton, Julia has been a driving force in growing CMG Ohio into a financially successful multi-media organization. She is creative, energetic, future-focused, and willing to take risks.”

“I feel so honored to have led Cox Media Group Ohio,” said Wallace. “This organization is filled with talented and hard-working folks. Through all of the change, they have dug in and found solutions to problems that have perplexed so many. I know they will continue to carry on to do great work. Dayton, Springfield, and Northern Cincinnati are very fortunate to have such high-quality journalism. Every day, it helps connect people with the news they need to make a difference in the community.”

The search for Wallace’s successor will begin immediately. In the interim, Rob Rohr, CMG Ohio’s General Manager, will oversee the operation and report directly to Joseph.
