New WND managing editor named

WorldNetDaily Editor Joseph Farah has named veteran journalist David Kupelian to the Internet newspaper's new post of managing editor.

Kupelian is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of the advertising agency Tri-Media Communications and the former managing editor and co-founder of New Dimensions magazine. He recently completed a two-year tenure as editor and writer of After Dark, the newsletter of talk radio superstar Art Bell.

"We're very fortunate to get an editor of David Kupelian's quality, ability and character," said Farah. "We conducted an international search for someone to relieve me of many day-to-day responsibilities as our company grows. Interestingly, after dozens of interviews, I was delighted to find that someone I had known for years and worked with in the past was available for the assignment."

Farah served briefly as editor-in-chief of New Dimensions magazine in 1992 and also worked as a contributing editor for the magazine prior to that appointment.

Kupelian will assist Farah in the recruitment of a multimedia news team for WorldNetDaily Inc., the new for-profit subsidiary corporation of the Western Journalism Center. He will also help supervise every aspect of the editorial operation as Farah's responsibilities grow as editor-in-chief and chief executive officer.
