Belo Corp. announced Wednesday the new executives for its newspaper group after a spinoff in early 2008.
The U.S. company Belo owns four daily newspapers, including The Dallas Morning News, and 20 television stations. Following the spinoff, the newspapers will be held separately by a publicly traded company, A.H. Belo Corporation.
Belo's chairman and chief executive, Robert Decherd, will become the chairman, president and CEO of the newspaper company, and will also serve as non-executive chairman of Belo's television company, The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday.
James Moroney III will assume the role of executive vice president of the newspaper company, overseeing papers including the Providence (Rhode Island) Journal, The News and The Press-Enterprise in Riverside, Calif. He will also continue to be the publisher and CEO of The News, replacing Decherd on the board of The Providence Journal Co., and will join Belo Corp.'s board of directors following the spinoff.
Skip Cass will also be an executive vice president of the newspaper company, continuing to oversee Belo's Internet, business development and technology activities.
