USA Today names Joanne Lipman as new top editor
NEW YORK (AP) — Gannett has named Joanne Lipman as the editor-in-chief of USA Today, one of the country's biggest newspapers.
A former Wall Street Journal reporter and editor, she founded a Conde Nast business magazine, Portfolio, to much fanfare in 2007, shortly before the financial crisis.
Gannett spokeswoman Amber Allman said that Lipman was the first woman to be USA Today's permanent editor-in-chief.
