World-Herald Creates 'Presentation Editor' Positions

The Omaha World-Herald has named Dave Elsesser "Presentation Editor" of Nebraska's largest daily newspaper, while fellow co-worker Josh Crutchmer will serve as "Deputy Presentation Editor."

Both positions are newly created, but neither employee is new to the World-Herald. Elsesser has worked in Omaha for two years, including the past year as Assistant Sports Editor. His past work has won him two awards of excellence in the 27th annual Best of Newspaper Design competition from the Society for News Design.

Crutchmer joined the World-Herald last year in the position of "Sports Design Director." He previously was a page 1/special projects designer at the Arizona Republic and assistant sports editor/nights and design at The Oklahoman.

Sean,

Why do you even bother posting news about the wierd harold? No one cares what they print especially now that they effectively killed their online edition.

Actually, lots of people care. More than 60 percent of Omaha reads the World-Herald. Most TV stations are around 15 percent. True story.

Geez...some of the TV stations can't put together a news story without first reading the Weird-Harold. It's a small-town version of the major network newscasts relying on the New York Times for its story ideas.

It's nice to see that the World-Herald people read The Reader.
