Veteran Times Free Press reporter Lindsey Young, a 36-year member of the sports staff, has been promoted to assistant sports editor.
In addition to local sports coverage, Young covered NASCAR for 12 years in addition to two World Series and a Super Bowl. A University of Tennessee at Chattanooga graduate, he has won multiple writing awards in state competition, including prep writer of the year twice.
“Lindsey’s experience as a creative writer with sound editorial instincts will help strengthen our reporting team,” TFP sports editor Stephen Hargis said. “His versatility is invaluable, so this is a well-deserved promotion.”
