O'Hanlon Gets Nod As AP Nebraska News Editor

Kevin O'Hanlon had the "acting" portion of his title as Associated Press news editor for Nebraska removed Monday.

The former Lincoln correspondent for the AP and University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate replaces Larry Sullivan, who left in December to accepted a position at the Palatka Daily News in Palatka, Fla.

O'Hanlon's appointment was announced by Tena Haraldson, chief of bureau for North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska.

A native of Blair, Neb., O'Hanlon started his journalism career in 1984 at the Beatrice Daily Sun. He also worked for The Argus Leader of Sioux Falls, S.D., The Lincoln Star, the Lansing State Journal, The Cincinnati Enquirer and the Omaha World-Herald. The 51-year-old joined the AP in Dallas in 1995 and worked in the AP's Cincinnati bureau before becoming Lincoln correspondent in 1998.

Kevin is a good guy who actually gets your quotes right and asks the right questions...sometimes a rarity in the business.
