Ryder promoted to Eclipse publisher

Jake Ryder, the regional sports editor for the Eclipse News-Review in Parkersburg and The Grundy Register, has taken on a new role as publisher of the Eclipse as part of a companywide string of promotions at Mid-America Publishing Corporation (MAPC).

In his new position, Ryder will oversee the financial, strategic and operational aspects of the weekly newspaper while providing guidance on editorial, sales and community outreach initiatives.

A native of Galesburg, Illinois who previously worked in sports at the Muscatine Journal, Ryder joined Mid-America in the fall of 2016 and has won multiple Iowa Newspaper Association (INA) awards for his coverage of high school athletics in the Grundy and southern Butler County areas.

Throughout his tenure, he’s been impressed with the strides the Eclipse News-Review has made in bringing local news to Aplington, Parkersburg and New Hartford while also delivering a visually-satisfying product.
