ASNE's board of directors made the appointments during their fall board meeting on Oct. 17, in Orlando, Fla., according to a release.

"At a time when America's newspapers face unprecedented challenges, ASNE's commitment to the highest professional standards, diversity and the First Amendment has never been more important," Paulson said in a statement. "I'm honored to be able to play a role in building on that tradition of public service and professionalism."
Added Goldberg, "I'm honored to take on a leadership role in ASNE during a time of great challenge and change in our industry. As editors, it is our duty and privilege to help reinvent the future of news and information, and I believe ASNE can play a key part of preserving and protecting our strongest journalism for generations of readers and viewers. I look forward to working with and learning from talented editors around the country."
