The E.W. SCRIPPS CO. has promoted Chief Strategy Officer LISA KNUTSON to EVP/CFO and Controller/Treasurer DOUG LYONS to SVP/Controller and Treasurer.

KNUTSON, who joined the company in 2005 and was named Chief Strategy Officer in AUGUST, has been serving as interim CFO since TIM WESOLOWSKI's exit in OCTOBER. LYONS has been with SCRIPPS since 1985 and has headed the accounting department since 2008.

"LISA has been an instrumental player on our management team for more than a decade," said President and CEO ADAM SYMSON. "She served in key roles during the spinoff of SCRIPPS NETWORKS INTERACTIVE and the double-spin, double-merge transaction with the former JOURNAL COMMUNICATIONS that divested SCRIPPS of newspapers and doubled our broadcast holdings. She is creative and solution-oriented about business strategy, and her strong leadership will help guide the company effectively through this next phase of restructuring and growth."
