Dwyre Elected Vice President of AP Sports Editors
Bill Dwyre, sports editor of The Los Angeles Times, was elected third vice president of the Associated Press Sports Editors at the group’s annual convention Thursday.
His election means that Dwyre will become president of the APSE in June 1988.
Herb Stutz, sports editor of The Times’ Orange County edition, will become president after this week’s convention, succeeding Jay Searcy of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Charles Cooper of the San Francisco Examiner will move up to first vice president and Henry Freeman of USA Today to second vice president.
Dwyre, 41, a native of Sheboygan, Wis., and a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, joined The Times in April 1981 as assistant sports editor and was named sports editor two months later.
He served as the newspaper’s 1984 Olympics coordinator and, for his efforts in overseeing the newspaper’s coverage of the Games, was the recipient of the National Press Foundation’s first Editor of the Year Award in 1985.
