Elder named editor

Joe Elder, reporter for the Saratoga Sun, has been promoted to editor with the departure of Tom Dixon.

“Joe has done a great job for us,” general manager Liz Wood said. “I look forward to working with him as our new editor.”

Brian Trautwein, of Cheyenne, has been hired as the sports reporter for the Saratoga Sun.

Trautwein, who has a degree in Communications from the University of Wyoming, began with the Sun Dec. 10.

“Brian has a passion for sports and I think he will be a good addition to the Sun,” Wood said.

Elder will continue reporting in addition to his new editorial duties. Trautwein will also cover the school board meetings and school news.

In addition to the changes inside the Sun, a new website was launched Friday.

“I am really excited about the new website,” Wood said. “Readers will be able to subscribe online and we have a whole new format.” The address for the website is http://www.saratogasun.com.
