PARKERSBURG – Edward Ludt has been hired as the news editor for the Eclipse News-Review, with June 1 serving as his first day in the Parkersburg office.

“I’ve always loved writing,” Ludt said, “and I’m a strong believer in the role of an honest, unbiased press. I saw an opportunity to sort of cater to both, to write every day and participate in what I think is a pretty important part of American society.”

Ludt, 49, was on the editorial team for Dordt University’s student newspaper, the Diamond, while he studied theology on the Sioux Center campus.
