Oakland Tribune Names New Editor

After three years with the Alameda Newspaper Group, Tim Graham has been named editor of The Oakland Tribune, one of the group’s five newspapers.

For the past 18 months, Graham, 41, was managing editor of the newspaper group’s Tri-Valley Herald in Pleasanton. Before that, he was deputy managing editor of the Tribune.

Graham replaces Chris Lavin, who left the Tribune in August.

A native of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Graham graduated from DePauw University in 1976 and went on to work for The Evansville (Ind.) Press.
