Chronicle publisher Mark Dobie announced Monday that the 28-year-old would replace longtime editor Nick Ehli.
Ehli, 56, whoâs worked for Montana newspapers for more than 30 years, announced his resignation in October but remained with the paper until the completion of a national search for the next editor.
âIâm thrilled the Chronicle has chosen Michael as my replacement. His dedication and talent will serve this newspaper and community well,â said Ehli, whose last day is Wednesday.
The Chronicle is an institution in this town, Wright said, and he doesnât take the responsibility of running the newsroom lightly. Readers should continue to expect to see great journalism for the Gallatin Valley and southwest Montana.
