Post-Dispatch EIC Bailon set to depart

Gilbert Bailon

KERA News in Dallas has hired Gilbert Bailon as executive editor overseeing the Texas newsroom collaboration of public media newsrooms in Dallas, Austin, Houston and San Antonio.

Currently, he serves as the editor-in-chief of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, where he oversaw work that won two Pulitzer Prizes.

His last day at the Post-Dispatch is Feb. 11.

Bailon was formerly the executive editor of The Dallas Morning News and was the founding editor and publisher of Al Día, a Spanish-language newspaper and website operated by The News.

“Returning to the Dallas-Fort Worth area to work with the dynamic KERA News team and their colleagues throughout Texas is an exciting professional opportunity,” Bailon said. “We will build upon a legacy of exceptional journalism and strive to reach even broader audiences with expanded coverage and innovations.”
