Barber promoted to Senior Reporter; Reed added to advertising sales
Brad Blakemore, publisher of Van Zandt Newspapers L. L. C., recently announced the promotion of one employee and the hiring of a new employee at the company.
David Barber, a 34-year employee of Van Zandt Newspapers L. L. C., has moved from the advertising department to the editorial department and has been promoted to Senior Reporter for the company.
Barber began working at Van Zandt Newspapers L. L. C. on Aug. 10, 1982 as a reporter before moving advertising in 1983 where he remained until earlier this month.
He is a 1977 graduate of Van High School, a 1979 graduate of Tyler Junior College and a 1982 graduate of North Texas State University, now known as the University of North Texas in Denton where he received his degree in journalism while minoring in radio/tv/film and political science.
The new Senior Reporter is in his 35th consecutive year of covering the Van Vandal varsity football team for the Van Banner and the Van Zandt News and has not missed a game, home or away, during that period of time.
Barber is a member of Lakeside Baptist Church in Canton where he sings in the adult choir and he also serves as membership chairman for the Van Zandt County Gideon Camp.
