Bonneville appoints Pete Gammell to the newly-created position of News Director for the Bonneville Seattle Media Group. In his new role, Gammell will oversee all news gathering and news content across each Bonneville Seattle radio outlet and digital media channel. Most recently, Gammell served as the first online content manager for MyNorthwest.com.
"We are generating more news, from more places, than ever before. We break news stories on our talk shows, our blogs, our social media sites, and also in our newsroom," said Gammell. "Our opportunity is to harness all of this content and distribute it via multiple channels."
Gammell started working at KIRO in 1999 as a morning news desk assistant before becoming an editor and a weekend reporter. In 2005, he left for KCBS-AM/San Francisco as Associate News Director. While in the Bay Area, Gammell oversaw KCBS.com and the day-to-day news operations including story development, assignments and on-air production.
"Pete's radio and digital experience make him the ideal person for this newly created position as we look to innovative and find efficient ways to integrate and deliver Bonneville Seattle content across multiple platforms," said Seattle Operations Manager Ryan Hatch.
