Salem Media Group promotes Jonathan Garthwaite to Senior Vice President and Publisher of Townhall Media. He'll continue to oversee all business and editorial operations for Townhall Media properties, which includes Townhall, RedState, PJ Media, Hot Air, Twitchy and Bearing Arms. Combined, Townhall Media attracts upwards of twenty-million readers each month.

SMG COO David Evans commented, "Jonathan has earned this promotion with his relentless dedication to the success of Townhall Media and his passion for fair politics, together with his strong leadership of the tremendous Townhall Media team. I am sure Townhall Media operations will continue to excel under Jonathan's leadership; he is a true asset to both his team in DC and to Salem Media Group as a whole."

Garthwaite has been with Townhall Media since its inception in 1995, overseeing all editorial and technical operations since 1998. Salem acquired Townhall Media in 2006 and in 2009, Garthwaite was appointed Vice President and General Manager.

"From the early years incubating Townhall at the Heritage Foundation to the last sixteen years of explosive growth at Salem Media Group, it has been the honor of a lifetime to work with all my colleagues. They are simply the best in the political news and analysis business over the past twenty-seven years," remarked Garthwaite. "There is nothing more satisfying than working hard each day on a mission-driven business with a team of talented writers, marketing pros and digital strategists to fight for America's future with fairness and truth in political news."
