Mark Bowder

The Las Vegas Review-Journal has hired Mark Bowder as its metro editor.

Alan Halaly of the Review-Journal writes, “Bowder, who assumed the role Monday, comes to Las Vegas from Vancouver, Washington, where he worked his way up to metro editor at The Columbian after starting as assistant metro editor in 2005. He has worked in several newsrooms across a nearly four-decade career as both an editor and reporter, mostly in California and Washington.

“‘Mark has had an impressive career in the newspaper business,’ said Carri Geer Thevenot, the Review-Journal’s assistant managing editor overseeing news and business coverage. ‘He brings just the type of experience and temperament I was seeking for an editor to help guide our metro staff and its coverage of Southern Nevada issues.'”
