Recent weeks have seen numerous personnel developments at The Daily Progress. <\/p>\n
Lowell Miller, a 25-year newspaper veteran and advertising director for the Central Virginia Media Group since 2015, is returning to his native Nebraska to handle major accounts for the Omaha World-Herald, also part of the Berkshire Hathaway Media Group. Miller previously worked for the World-Herald. <\/p>\n
The Central Virginia Media Group includes The Daily Progress, The (Waynesboro) News Virginian, the Orange County Review, the Greene County Record and the Madison County Eagle. <\/p>\n
Miller, 40, of Crozet, is succeeded by Frank Dubec. Dubec, 41, of Charlottesville, has a wealth of experience serving creative solutions to advertisers in multiple formats, including print, digital and events. He is a former publisher of the C-VILLE Weekly and formerly ran the digital advertising agency Deep Soil. He will oversee the sales, service and design operations of the Central Virginia groups 30-person sales department and develop and implement strategies with Publisher Rob Jiranek. <\/p>\n
Paul Wash has been named circulation director of the group. Wash, 55, of Waynesboro, is a newspaper circulation veteran who worked at the Richmond Times-Dispatch for more than 30 years. In 2007, he became circulation director of The News Virginian and late last year joined The Daily Progress as home delivery manager. <\/p>\n
The demand for our product in both print and digital proves that we are No. 1 in providing the community with information, sports, entertainment and much more. Fulfilling that daily for our readers is what drives our department, Wash said. <\/p>\n
Miguel Coradine replaces Wash as home delivery manager, responsible for home delivery and digital access for the group. Coradine, 37, of Charlottesville, previously worked as a newspaper circulation manager and has experience supervising carrier networks and managing customer service. <\/p>\n
Brandon Barfield has been promoted to audience sales manager, responsible for sales and marketing for the newspaper group. <\/p>\n
Barfield, 31, of Orange County, has a background in magazine publishing. <\/p>\n
Managing the transition of print to digital readership is a fascination for me, he said, and developing stronger competency in making our content more conveniently available to our audience is what inspires us. <\/p>\n
Aaron Richardson returns to The Daily Progress as an assistant city editor. Richardson, 29, of Charlottesville, was a reporter for the newspaper from 2011 to 2014. He has covered education, business and development for Daily Progress news partner Charlottesville Tomorrow for the past year. <\/p>\n
In our lives, we might get one shot to make a newspaper truly great for its city. And while it may sound a little earnest, we feel a sense of destiny that now is our shot. Readers get ready: Were on a mission, and this newspaper is getting better, Jiranek said. <\/p>\n
