Shawn Storie prepares for a new chapter at Journal Review.
Shawn Storie has been named the new publisher at the Journal Review.
He replaces Sean Smith who resigned to pursue other interests.
“I’m happy to be here in Montgomery County and to continue to lead the Journal Review in the positive direction it has been going,” Storie said.
Storie most recently served as publisher of the Paris (Ill.) Beacon News, a sister newspaper to the Journal Review. He led that newspaper for the past three years. Prior to that, Storie worked as general manager of the Journal Review for three years. His other newspaper industry experience includes working at the Indianapolis Star as advertising sales manager for one year and the circulation sales manager for the Terre Haute Tribune-Star for five years.
Storie earned a bachelor’s degree from Indiana State University.
He and his wife, Elyse, have two boys, Gavin, 3, and Ethan, 1 1/2. The family intends to relocate to this community. Storie enjoys golfing, traveling, shopping, riding ATVs and attending church with his family.
“Sean Smith is a valuable asset to this company and he wil be hard to replace,” Storie said.
The Smiths —Sean, Chrissy and their two daughters — will remain in the community for the time being.
