Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel editor named "Editor of the Year"

Editor & Publisher has chosen Martin Kaiser, editor of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Editor of the Year.

"E&P notes that Kaiser was selected for the honor at a time of harsh newsroom reductions at newspapers all across the country -- leading to prominent editors being fired or resigning for refusing to make further cuts." Kaiser, however, "told
E&P he believes this is a particularly bad time for editors to abandon their newsrooms. It's a matter of leadership. If you're passionate about journalism and care about the work you do, you help the newsroom, the whole news organization, get through any kind of times."
