Robyn Tomlin, managing editor of the Dallas Morning News, has been chosen by McClatchy to become the first regional editor for the Carolinas. Given the precipitous decline of the newspaper business in recent years, she knows this new role will be far from easy. “The area itself is growing like crazy, and it’s an area that really needs and deserves strong local coverage,” she said. Many years later, after considerable achievement in the news business — including several stints as executive editor — Tomlin found herself living in New York City, serving as top editor of Digital First’s Thunderdome newsroom. And, Wilson said, she is a “brilliant digital media strategist.”She’ll need all of her admirable qualities working at full capacity.
