Lex the editor
Lex Alexander is returning to editing duty next week when he becomes our regional editor with responsibility for our Rockingham and High Point coverage. Lex is, of course, a key architect of our online strategy, a strategy we're still building and refining.
He has had many jobs in the newsroom, including reporter, news editor, features editor, leader of our investigative team, and a couple online roles that, if they had titles, I've forgotten them. He's good at this stuff we do.

Congrats to Lex! I met him when he spoke at a conference at Ole Miss last February - Reinventing College Media. He's definitely good at this stuff.

won't Mr. Alexander be required to live in one of those areas?
others who have held his position -- and similar ones-- have been required to move and live there.
he should too... in all fairness, right?

Jim, the position was advertised internally as being Greensboro-based or else I wouldn't have applied.

must be nice... of course, one wonders how you will keep in touch with real people in the outlying areas...
seems as you'll be doing it quite by remote control...
doesnt seem very local, local, local to me
but what do I know?

Jim, what makes you think Lex is in touch with real people now??

jim, we changed the local, local, local philosophy in High Point and Rockingham County some time ago, which then changed our residency requirements.

High Point and Rockingham are little more than satellites stuck in fixed orbit about Greensboro's cosmopolitan star, so I can see no reason why a reporter should actually live there. If you write about the prison system, you don't have to be incarcerated, right?

The "local, local, local" theory changed?
High Point and Rockingham are in "fixed orbit" around cosmopolitcan Greensboro (?are you listening to yourselves?), but Asheboro/Randolph County is not?
Interesting. I feel like the caveman in those commercials going . . . "What???"
