Content picked as steward leader

The Milwaukee Newspaper Guild's Executive Board has named Tom Content as a steward leader.

Content, a Journal Sentinel business reporter, replaces Mary Louise Schumacher in overseeing stewards, contract enforcement, membership and mobilizing for the business news, features/entertainment, photo and opinions staffs. Schumacher, the newspaper's art and architecture critic, did not seek reappointment to a second term.

The board reappointed the other two steward leaders: copy editor Russ Maki, to a third term serving the copy, design, graphics and national desks and the sports staff, and metro reporter Tom Held, to a second term serving the downtown metro desk, Wisconsin news bureaus and JSOnline.

Also reappointed were page designer Zeina Makky as communications chair, feature writer Jan Uebelherr as social chair, copy editor Jen Steele as newsletter editor, online producer Craig Nickels as Webmaster, metro reporter Larry Sandler as posting and exclusions coordinator, deputy business editor Bob Helbig as wage data coordinator and assistant features/entertainment editor Stan Miller as tech coordinator. Uebelherr and Helbig are also board members.

All of those appointed will serve one-year terms, until next October. The steward leaders and Vice Presidents Meg Kissinger and Karen Samelson will now select stewards.
