Bonita Burton announced over at VizEds that Ken Lyons has been appointed Director of Photography:

I'm delighted to announce that Ken Lyons, who has been ably running the photo department on an interim basis, has officially been promoted into the position of Executive Photo Editor. Ken, who has been our A1/Projects picture editor for two years, replaces Bill Sikes, who left the paper to return to the Northeast in November. This appointment is terrific news for the photo team. Not only is Ken a well regarded editor in the newsroom, he is an admired force in the industry as one of the country's top picture editors. Maybe you've heard him speak at SND or teach at Kalish or the Truth With a Camera Workshop. Under his leadership, the Sentinel has won unprecedented recognition on a national scale for its use of photography. You can see much of that great work, as well as some of Ken's own impressive photojournalism at http://www.kenlyons.com/ Ken is a sensitive, intelligent editor and patient coach with big aspirations for the team. I'm excited to see where his energy and ambition will take the group going forward. Please join me in congratulating Ken on his new role!

Congrats, Ken!
