"In this new position, Alisha's primary responsibility is to ensure we achieve overall circulation sales and service objectives for the Daily Journal and our Community Newspaper group," he added.

amp"I owe a great debt to this newspaper for the friendships it has provided me over the past 13 years. The Times has allowed me to reach out to so many people in this community and to get to know them through their stories. This newspaper has become my second home and the staff my family. I will miss them both very much. It's a bittersweet time, but I look forward to the opportunities ahead and continuing my work with a company such as Journal Inc.,amp" Wilson said.
