FOND DU LAC – Brandon Reid has been named editor of the Fond du Lac Reporter and Oshkosh Northwestern.

Reid joined the USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin in 2015 as editor of the Herald Times Reporter in Manitowoc and content coach for government watchdog reporters within the network's 11 newsrooms. He has also been editor of the Sheboygan Press since 2021.

Before his time in Manitowoc, he was editor of the The Rock River Times in Rockford, Illinois, for 12 years.

Now, Reid will lead the Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Manitowoc and Sheboygan newsrooms as part of Gannett's recently launched Center for Community Journalism, focused on supporting small and mid-sized newsrooms and providing hyper-local, high-impact stories.

Reid succeeds Katy Macek, who led the Fond du Lac and Oshkosh newsrooms since August. Macek will be moving into a new editor position at the Appleton Post-Crescent.
