Doug Whitmire, WLS Chicago assistant news director, has been promoted to VP of news. He starts in the new role August 5 and succeeds Jennifer Graves, who has retired.
“Doug has been a leading force in the newsroom for more than two decades and a key contributor to our success,” said John Idler, WLS president and general manager. “His impeccable news judgement and in-depth knowledge of Chicago make him ideally suited to take the helm of ABC 7 Eyewitness News.”
