Santa brought us a present just in time for Christmas: a new news editor. Here's John Moore's e-mail to the staff: 
Subject: News editor
Joe and I are pleased to announce our appointment for news editor of The Star: Darrin Peschka and Amanda Reiter.
We asked Darrin and Amanda to serve as co-news editors, and they have accepted. We know they will make an excellent management team, working together to run our desk.
They are excellent journalists and we're excited 
about the contribution we know they will make to The Star. We hope you take a moment to congratulate them. They have both earned this promotion through their efforts, and we look forward to their continued growth as journalists and managers.

Darrin and Amanda took some time to pose for their official co-News Editor portraits (just kidding!) and they are shown above and below. It may give you some indication of their management style.
Congratulations, Darrin and Amanda!
