Lorraine Forte<\/p><\/div>\n

Lorraine Forte, former executive editor of The Chicago Reporter and former editor-in-chief of Catalyst Chicago, was named editorial page editor of the Sun-Times<\/a> Monday.<\/p>\n

It marks a return to the Sun-Times for Forte, who stepped down as a member of the editorial board in August to work for the Chicago Police Department in communications. Earlier in her career she also worked as a reporter for the Sun-Times.<\/p>\n

Forte succeeds Tom McNamee, who retired<\/a> Friday as editorial page editor after four decades at the newspaper. Forte's appointment is effective October 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re confident that Lorraine, who served on the editorial board for three years, will only expand upon its standard of excellence,\u201d Steve Warmbir, interim editor-in-chief of the Sun-Times, told staffers in an email. \u201cWith its sharply written, deeply reported opinion pieces and its diversity of viewpoints, the Sun-Times opinion section is the best in Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n

A graduate of The Ohio State University with a master's degree from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, Forte previously was a writer and producer at Nexstar Media Group WGN-Channel 9 and a reporter for the Daily Southtown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
