Pam Sohn

Pam Sohn, a reporter and editor in Chattanooga for the past 28 years, has been appointed editorial page editor for The Chattanooga Times.

She will succeed Harry Austin, who is retiring as the Times’ opinion page editor on May 3.

Alison Gerber, managing editor of the Times Free Press, announced the appointment of Pam Sohn to the opinion page editor job today.

“Pam has covered just about every beat and has a tremendous amount of institutional knowledge that will serve her well as an opinion writer,” Gerber said.

The Times Free Press publishes both the more liberal Times editorial page and the more conservative Free Press editorial page, which is written by editor Drew Johnson.
