Columbus CEO magazine names new editor

Ray Paprocki, the publisher of Columbus CEO magazine, writes that it will have a new editor beginning in 2018.

Paprocki writes, “Dave Ghose, senior editor of our sister publication, Columbus Monthly, will become editor, replacing Mary Yost.

“Mary isn’t going very far — just one floor up in our building at 62 E. Broad St. She has been named the new editorial page editor for The Columbus Dispatch, where she started her career as a reporter. This position fulfills a longtime goal of running the paper’s editorial page. (Dispatch Magazines and the Dispatch are part of the Dispatch Media Group.)

“Mary’s achievements are substantial as she has led Columbus CEO to numerous state and national awards since becoming editor in January 2014. We hate to lose her, but know where to find her.

“On the other hand, we’re thrilled with Dave moving over a few desks in our newsroom. I started to work with Dave in 2001, when he was a freelancer new to Columbus after newspaper stints in Michigan and Akron. At the time I was an editor at Columbus Monthly and we brought Dave onto the staff, where he served first as a staff writer and then associate editor.”
