John F. Greenman, 54, who is president and publisher of the Knight Ridder-owned Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, will join UGA’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication in August as its first Carter Professor
ATHENS, Ga. – A newspaper executive with deep roots in journalism has been named the Carolyn McKenzie and Don E. Carter Professor for Excellence in Journalism at the University of Georgia.

John F. Greenman, 54, who is president and publisher of the Knight Ridder-owned Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, will join the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication in August as its first Carter Professor.

Established this year the recipient of the Carter Professorship will engage in teaching, research and service around the issues of journalism excellence. Grady alumni Carolyn McKenzie (ABJ ’40), a former photojournalist, and Don E. Carter (ABJ ’38), a retired Knight Ridder executive, endowed the professorship. The Carters live in Sea Island.

“John Greenman has proven success in virtually every aspect of the newspaper business, and we are very pleased he will join Grady College and set the bar for this important professorship,” said Grady College Dean John Soloski. “The breadth and depth of knowledge he has about the industry will certainly be an asset to UGA, the Grady College and the newspaper industry at large.”

Greenman said he will “deeply miss” the Ledger-Enquirer, its customers and its staff. “Columbus is a fine community, served by an excellent newspaper. It’s been my honor to serve both.

“Yet I’ve always been drawn to teaching and research, and I couldn’t hope for a better opportunity than to serve the Grady College as its first Carter Professor,” said Greenman. Greenman said he expects, as the Carter Professor, to focus on newsroom management as a key way to strengthen journalism practice.

Greenman joined the Ledger-Enquirer as publisher in 1995. Previously he was an editor and circulation executive at the Akron Beacon Journal, also a Knight Ridder newspaper. While assistant managing editor in Akron, he helped direct and edit coverage of the attempted takeover of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1987.

In Columbus Greenman has been an active figure in the community, chairing the United Way campaign in 1998 and its board of directors in 1999 and 2000. Greenman was the founding chairman of the board of the Community Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley, and currently chairs the Muscogee County Library Foundation board.

Greenman and his wife, Alice Budge, an emeritus professor of English at Youngstown State University in Ohio, will live in both Columbus and Athens. They have two grown children, Michael, a social worker, and David, a developer of affordable housing.

The Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, established in 1915, provides seven undergraduate majors: advertising, broadcast news, magazines, newspapers, public relations, publication management and telecommunication arts. The college offers two graduate degrees and is home to the Peabody Awards, one of the premier programs in broadcasting.
