Recent Operations
The paper was led by Jeff Bruce as editor from 1998 to 2008. Bruce replaced Max Jennings, who retired. When Bruce retired in 2007 Kevin Riley, 44, a graduate of the University of Dayton was named editor. Riley spent most of his career with the paper, starting as a copy editor and later serving as sports editor, Internet general manager, and publisher of the Springfield News-Sun in Springfield, Ohio. He was promoted from deputy editor.
In 2010, Riley was named editor of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and that paper's editor, Julia Wallace, under whose leadership the AJC won Pulitzer Prizes in 2006 and 2007, moved to Dayton to become Senior Vice President of news and programming for CMG Ohio heading a new combined newspaper, television and radio newsroom. She was soon after named the first female publisher. In 2011, Jana Collier was promoted from managing editor to editor-in-chief of CMG Ohio and is responsible for content and operations for all daily and weekly papers. Collier is also the first woman to be editor-in-chief of the Dayton Cox newspaper organization.
Since becoming SVP of news and programming for CMG Ohio, Wallace has led significant changes innovating the way news at CMG Ohio is gathered and delivered across the print, broadcast and digital media. She has fostered a strong spirit of collaboration and established unprecedented synergies among the news organizations. Under her leadership, CMG Ohio launched an ongoing research effort to poll readers about their needs and what the focus of the newspaper should be. In the fall of 2011 a completely redesigned Dayton Daily News launched, displaying the tagline “Complete. In-Depth. Dependable.” Reader response to the visual and structural changes, the heightened attention to important local news, in-depth investigative reporting, and the balanced tone of the editorial page continues to be very positive.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
