Wednesday,
August 6, 2008, 8 p.m. -- The new publisher of The Kentucky
Standard is LCNI veteran Jamie Sizemore of Elizabethtown.
Sizemore is currently the circulation manager at the daily
News-Enterprise
in Elizabethtown.
The
23-year company veteran has worked at The News-Enterprise
since 1992 where she held a variety of leadership roles prior
to being named circulation manager in 2001. In the mid-1990s,
she was the daily newspaper's advertising manager and later
named manager of the newspaper's New Ventures Team (which
included a web development team, a montly business news publication
and cable TV advertising sales team).
Sizemore
has also served as regional manager of The Record, a weekly
newspaper in Leitchfield, Ky. During her tenure as regional
manager, The Record's circulation saw explosive growth. The
once tiny newspaper's paid circulation grew by 166 percent,
and The Record eventually grew larger than its competitor,
the longtime dominant county newspaper The Grayson County
News-Gazette. Under Sizemore's leadership, the newspaper went
to court and was awarded legal status as the county's official
"newspaper of record."
Sizemore's
contributions to the business size of newspapering were recognized
recently by organizations both inside and outside the state.
In
2006 she was named the "Circulation Sales Executive of
the Year" by the Newspaper Association of America among
member newspapers with paid circulation of 150,000 and less.
The same year, the College Heights Herald, WKU's student newspaper,
named Sizemore the recipient of the annual "Herald Award"
for contributions to the field of journalism.
Sizemore
begins her new duties at The Kentucky Standard on Aug. 25th.
