García elected to APME leadership

Joseph Garcia, community conversation editor for The Arizona Republic, last week was elected vice chairman of APME’s Journalism Today committees. That means he is on track to preside over the group in 2012.

Joe, 47, was first elected to the board in 2005, when he was editor of The Daily Times in Farmington, N.M. Before that, he worked 18 years at the Tucson Citizen. He began his career at The Associated Press in Denver.
