Sun Herald names its first woman publisher to succeed Nardi
GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) – Shannon Wall has been named president and publisher of the Sun Herald and will assume her new role on April 1.
The newspaper reports Wall is the first woman publisher of the Sun Herald and succeeds Glen Nardi, who announced his retirement in February.
Wall, 45, has been the Sun Herald’s advertising director since joining the company in 2008, overseeing multi-media sales and revenue development. During her tenure, she has been key to the media company’s digital sales transformation and instrumental to the launch of the Sun Herald’s highly-acclaimed Velocity Digital Agency.
Also on Friday, Mark Zieman, vice president of operations for McClatchy, presented the Sun Herald newsroom with the President’s Award for its 10th anniversary coverage of Hurricane Katrina. He called the coverage “exceptional and outstanding.”
