RIVERSIDE, Calif., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The Press-Enterprise
Company has announced two important organizational changes as part
of its strategy to drive stronger growth in areas of opportunity
for the Inland Southern California multimedia company. The company
has named Frank Escobedo as general manager of Hispanic media, and

with broadening the Company's reach into the region's rapidly
growing Hispanic community by sharpening its focus on La Prensa,
its Spanish-language newspaper, and expanding its Hispanic media
franchise by increasing its portfolio of Spanish-language products.
"The Hispanic community in our region is expected to grow to more
than 2 million by 2012, which will represent almost 50% of the
population," says Ronald Redfern, chief executive officer and
publisher of the Press-Enterprise Company. "La Prensa had a strong
performance this year, and in his role, Frank will be charged with
continuing to grow La Prensa's audience and revenue through the
addition of more outlets and home delivery in 2009." In a second
appointment, Ginger Neal has been named vice president and general
manager of multi-media ventures for the Press-Enterprise Company.
In this role, Neal will be charged with continuing to lead the
company's online audience and revenue growth for PE.com, and also
lead new online initiatives in Southern California to expand the
growth of the Press-Enterprise Company's online and multi-media
product portfolio. "Ginger will continue to work closely with the
Press-Enterprise Company's sales and news organizations to grow our
PE.com franchise and our ongoing online partnerships with Cars.com,
HomeScape and Yahoo! HotJobs," says Redfern. "She also will assume
responsibility for growing several of our new online products and
online-related print products, including the launch of new products
to capture more share of the audience in the DMA. "I'm very
enthused to have Frank and Ginger lead these new growth initiatives
and the much needed revenue they will drive in these new and
important assignments." About the Press-Enterprise Company The
