Anders Gyllenhaal, editor and senior vice president of The Minneapolis Star Tribune, will replace Tom Fiedler as executive editor of The Miami Herald when Fiedler retires at the end of February.
David Landsberg, president and publisher of the Miami Herald Media Co., made the announcement today.
Gyllenhaal, 55, is a former Miami Herald reporter and editor and was executive editor of the The News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C., before moving to Minneapolis in 2002. He serves on the boards of the Pulitzer Prize and the Knight Center for Specialized Journalism.
''Tom's enormous contribution to this newspaper will be measured in three decades of award-winning work -- as a reporter, as a columnist and as an editor, at various times, of both opinion and news,'' Landsberg said.
Fiedler, 60, best known for his award-winning political coverage and commentary, will retire after 33 years at The Miami Herald. He covered the White House, the Persian Gulf War and four presidential campaigns for The Herald and its former parent company, Knight Ridder Inc., and in 1988 received the Society of Professional Journalists' Gold Medal for breaking the story about presidential candidate Gary Hart and his relationship with Donna Rice. In 1991, he shared the Pulitzer Prize for spot news reporting for The Herald's coverage of the Yahweh cult.
Fiedler also served as editor of The Herald's editorial pages from 1999 until 2001, when he assumed the post of executive editor.
''It has been an honor for me to have led The Miami Herald newsroom and to have been a journalist here,'' said Fiedler, who will serve as editor-at-large during a transition period. ``The contributions I have made are few in comparison to the friendships I have treasured and the lessons I have learned.''
Landsberg expressed confidence that the distinctive journalism produced by The Miami Herald under Fiedler's tenure would continue under Gyllenhaal's leadership.
''In the years since he left The Miami Herald in 1991, Anders has become a leader in our industry, known both for his innovations in news and for preserving and promoting the best in traditional journalistic values,'' Landsberg said today.
During his 12-year tenure at The Miami Herald, Gyllenhaal held several municipal, state and investigative reporting positions. At the time he left Miami to become metro editor at The News & Observer, he was an assigning editor. In Raleigh, he rose through the ranks to that newsroom's top job, a position he held until 2002, when he moved to Minneapolis to become editor and senior vice president at The Star Tribune.
''It's a true privilege to come back to The Miami Herald, an exceptional newspaper in the most interesting part of the country,'' Gyllenhaal said. ``It's the best place I can imagine to take on the dual role of the modern newspaper, covering the news the way nobody else can, and shaping our work for the digital era.''
