Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 5:09pm on Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 | The Lexington Herald-Leader named Peter Bankiak its new editor on May 13, 2009.
Baniak, 37, first worked at the Lexington Herald-Leader as a college intern 17 years ago and then worked his way up through the reporting and editing ranks.
Baniak succeeds Linda Austin, who left the Herald-Leader in March to become executive director of a national business journalism center at Arizona State University. Baniak, previously deputy managing editor, had been directing newsroom operations since Austin's departure.
The newspaper reported:
"Herald-Leader Publisher Timothy M. Kelly, who made the announcement Tuesday, called Baniak's appointment "the right choice, at the right time, for this newspaper."
"I was editor when Peter interned with us," Kelly said. "He was obviously a very talented young journalist then, and I have watched him continue to grow and flourish ever since.
"I'm just thrilled that we've grown our own editor.".
Baniak will oversee the newsroom and will not sit on the Herald-Leader's editorial board. Editorial Page Editor Vanessa Gallman will report separately to Kelly, as she does now."

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 3:36pm on Monday, August 10th, 2009 | The Lexington Herald-Leader won a Public Service Award on August 3, 2009 from the Associated Press Managing Editors Association (APME).
In the 40,000 to 150,000-circulation category, the Herald-Leader won for a series of investigations into the spending of tax dollars by quasi-government groups. One examined the lavish expense account of the executive director of the Blue Grass Airport as well as his top four lieutenants. Other targets were the Lexington Public Library, the Kentucky League of Cities and Kentucky Association of Counties.
