Joe Skeel Named Executive Director Of SPJ

The Society for Professional Journalists named Joe Skeel, interim co-executive director of the SPJ, as its permanent executive director.

Skeel was the editor of Quill, SPJ’s magazine, from 2004 to 2008, when he was named associate executive director.

SPJ President Smith said Skeel will have a “much needed stabilizing effect on its national headquarters after several years of difficulties surrounding Harper’s illness.”
