Salt Lake Tribune Hires Sacramento Bee Exec As Top Editor

The Salt Lake Tribune has hired Sacramento Bee President Lauren Gustus as its new editor. The Tribune reported Tuesday that Gustus becomes the third woman to serve as the newspaper’s executive editor in its 150-year history. She will oversee all news gathering processes and a newsroom staff of about 70 journalists starting on Dec. 3. Gustus will supervise the newspaper’s transition away from printing a daily edition. Instead, the company will focus on publishing online every day and supplementing that with a weekly print edition. Gustus worked at The Tribune as an assistant sports editor from 2004 to 2007.
