Des Moines Register Publisher Laura Hollingsworth Embraces Changes

By: Richard Ryman | Green Bay Press-Gazette

One way to deal with change is to get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Laura Hollingsworth knows. As president and publisher of the Des Moines Register and a group president for Gannett Co. Inc.'s U.S. Community Publishing Division, Hollingsworth has had to help steer her newspaper and others through a paradigm-changing landscape. Gannett also is owner of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

Hollingsworth spoke Tuesday at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's "After Thoughts" series for women. In April 2011, the university presented the Sturgeon Bay native with an Alumni Association award.
