Bushee!">

Former editor of The Arizona Republic, vice president of The Cincinnati Enquirer, and top editor for the Reno Gazette-Journal and the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, Bay Area's Ward E. Bushee was just named executive VP and editor of the San Francisco Chronicle.

After graduating from San Diego State University (dude!) in 1971 with a degree in history, Bushee started his career at The Salinas Californian in 1975 and then over the Marin Independent Journal. Then, after Wednesday's announcement that Phil Bronstein was stepping down as editor, presto: Ward landed the (sweet?) gig over at the Chron.

Uh oh. He also looks like a redhead. And bears a genital-adjacent name. We know your pain all too well, Bushee.

It was announced today that SF Chronicle's editor, Phil Bronstein, will be "shifting his role from running day-to-day operations in the newsroom to taking on broader strategic responsibilities at the paper and for its owner, Hearst Corporation." Whoa.

What's more, you will get to read more of that Bronstein voice:

In addition, Bronstein will write for The Chronicle and sfgate.com. "I got into this profession because of my great love for words and how they can be used to move people," he said. "Hearst is a huge company with amazing creative resources and I'm really looking forward to diving into the possibilities that presents."

Although Phil will still hold the title of executive vice president of The Chronicle, he will "assume the title editor-at-large, both for the paper and for the newspapers division of Hearst." A new editor, it seems, will be announced shortly. Intriguing. More to come, folks. More to come.

He rids himself of the Stone, now this promotion. Way to go, Philip.
