The Milwaukee Newspaper Guild’s Executive Board has named MKE assistant editor Sonya Jongsma Knauss to a vacant board seat. She will serve until the next membership meeting, at noon May 22 on the second floor of Turner Hall, when Guild members will vote on who fills that position through the end of the term Sept. 30. The seat was previously held by JS Online news producer Mandy Jenkins, who left for a job at the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Meanwhile, the local is still seeking a Webmaster to fill the other vacancy created by Jenkins’ departure. That term runs until early October. Interested Guild members should contact Communications Chair Larry Sandler.
