'Lewiston Tribune' Gets New Managing Editor

(AP) Doug Bauer, the managing editor of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News, is being promoted to the same position at the larger Lewiston Tribune.

The editor and publisher of both papers, Nathan Alford, says Bauer was selected from a field of 44 candidates to replace Paul Emerson, who is retiring after 29 years.

The Lewiston Tribune reports the 37-year-old Bauer will be supervising about 30 newsroom employees.

Bauer worked as a part time sportswriter for the Tribune while he was in high school and college. He worked as a sports writer for the Bozeman Daily Chronicle in Montana for three years before returning to the Tribune as a sports writer. He was named sports editor of the Daily News in 2005, city editor in 2006 and managing editor in 2009.
