WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Wichita Eagle editor Sherry Chisenhall is taking a job as managing editor of the Charlotte Observer.
The Wichita newspaper (https://bit.ly/1TzWxBw) announced the move Wednesday.
Chisenhall will leave the newsroom she has spent the last 16 years running on June 3. She worked for the Charlotte Observer for 14 years before taking the Wichita newspaper job.
Rick Thames, who was editor at the Eagle from 1997 to 2004, hired Chisenhall to come to Wichita in 2000. Thames is now editor of the Charlotte Observer.
Eagle publisher Roy Heatherly says he will immediately begin a national search for a new editor.
