John Dahlia, who has served as the editor of the Preston County News & Journal the last two years and seven months, has been promoted to the position of NCWV Media business editor.
He will be responsible for business content across all of our platforms and in particular The State Journal, West Virginia’s statewide business and governmental newspaper.
A story on its website states, “NCWV Media began publishing the Preston County News & Journal and the weekly Pennysaver shopper in December 2014. The company also publishes The Exponent Telegram daily, as well as The State Journal, The Bridgeport News, The Fairmont News, The Weston News, The Blue & Gold News, NCWV Life Magazine, and most recently, The Republican, a weekly newspaper based in Oakland, Maryland.
“‘John brought a strong news background, as well as a passion for community involvement, that rapidly elevated the Preston News & Journal’s print, digital and social media audiences,’ Brian Jarvis, president of NCWV Media, said. ‘Being recognized as the Preston Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year was affirmation that John’s efforts to serve the community and report the news of Preston County was on target.’
“Replacing Dahlia as editor of the Preston County News & Journal will be Joseph Hauger.”
