The Ogden Newspapers has named Andy Flynn as editor and publisher of Adirondack Publishing’s two newspapers, the Adirondack Daily Enterprise (Saranac Lake, New York) and Lake Placid News.

Flynn, who has spent the past 10 years as editor of the News and will continue in this role, has more than 31 years of journalism and public relations experience in the Adirondack Park. He will oversee all operations at the Saranac Lake office, where both newspapers are produced.

“My vision is for the News and Enterprise to be the leading provider of news and information in the Tri-Lakes region for residents and visitors,” Flynn said. “At the same time, we offer a variety of print and digital marketing solutions for businesses in the region to help grow their customer base.”

Flynn is a 1987 graduate of Tupper Lake High School and earned a bachelor’s degree in communication from SUNY Fredonia in 1991, with a concentration in radio production and a minor in English.

He began his journalism career at North Country Public Radio as an independent documentary producer and a general assignment news reporter and made the transition to print journalism in 1994 as the Saranac Lake reporter for the Enterprise. Over the next seven years, he held several positions at Adirondack Publishing, including staff writer, city editor and managing editor at the Enterprise and staff writer and managing editor at the News.

In 2001, Flynn took a 12-year break from Adirondack Publishing, spending eight years as the senior public information specialist at the Adirondack Park Agency Visitor Interpretive Centers, a year working for himself and three years as the assistant managing editor of Denton Publications in Elizabethtown. He returned to the News in 2013.
