Tom Mayer, editor of CNHI’s Alabama newspapers, including The Cullman Times, The News Courier in Athens and St. Clair News-Aegis in Pell City, has been named general manager-editor of the group. The assignment became effective Monday, Aug. 7.

Mayer succeeds Alabama group publisher Katherine Miller, who was recently named publisher of The Norman Transcript in Norman, Oklahoma, which is also owned by CNHI.

Mayer began his journalism career as a reporter with a former Upstate New York CNHI daily, The Palladium Times, in 1998. He has worked as editor in Tarboro, North Carolina; Laurel, Mississippi; and Asheboro, North Carolina. He has also worked at newspapers in New Bern, North Carolina; Boone, North Carolina; and Lake City, Florida.

Mayer joined the Alabama team in October 2021 and was recently named deputy regional editor for the Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi group of newspapers. In his expanded role, Mayer will oversee day-to-day operations of the Alabama group while continuing to lead the editorial teams in their award-winning tradition of covering Alabama.

“I’ve worked with this team for nearly two years,” Mayer said. “And after nearly 25 years in this business, I can say that the professionalism, the dedication of our staff in covering our community with both print and digital products is unparalleled in our industry.”
