TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

The Tallahassee Democrat has hired William Hatfield as its new executive editor.

President and Publisher Skip Foster announced Hatfield's selection Wednesday. Hatfield is currently the editor of the Northwest Florida Daily News in Fort Walton Beach. He will start his new position in April.

The Illinois native moved to Florida in 2000 to take a position as a copy editor and page designer at the Daily News. He worked his way up, eventually becoming editor last year.

Hatfield has a journalism degree from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale and a master's degree in public affairs reporting from the University of Illinois at Springfield.

Hatfield replaces Bob Gabordi, who left the Democrat in January to become executive editor at another Gannett paper, Florida Today.
