Kevin Mowbray, Lee Enterprises vice president for publishing and president and publisher of the St Louis Post-Dispatch, made the announcement today.
“Dave knows the Journals, the people and the products well,” Mowbray said in a news release. “He’s been very involved in many of the key projects the Journals have undertaken, both inside and outside of the newsroom, during his tenure."
Bundy has served as editorial director at the Journals, overseeing the news operations for 3½ years. Before moving to St. Louis, he was editor of The Bismarck Tribune in Bismarck, N.D.
