ASNE Elects Washington Post Editor for President (of ASNE)
Washington Post senior editor Milton Coleman has won the presidency of the American Society of News Editors, the media advocacy group announced today.
Coleman succeeds Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel editor Martin Kaiser, whose term expired. Kaiser now sits on the ASNE board, as is customary for a former ASNE president.
In his acceptance speech, Coleman compared news editors to Abraham Lincoln:
In a manner of speaking, we, too, today, like Lincoln, are on a battlefield, testing whether this free press, our new journalism, can endure.
