Two officers of Times Mirror are assuming new responsibilities. Donald F. Wright, senior vice president, will supervise three of Times Mirror’s Eastern newspapers. Publishers of Connecticut’s Hartford Courant, Southern Connecticut Newspapers (The Advocate in Stamford and The Greenwich Time) and the Morning Call in Allentown, Pa., will report to Wright, who will continue responsibility for Times Mirror Broadcasting and Times Mirror Cable Television. Until his appointment earlier this year as a Times Mirror senior vice president, Wright was president and chief operating officer of the Los Angeles Times.

Edward E. Johnson, vice president-planning and development, will become a group vice president with responsibility for the Consumer Publishing Group. The group includes such magazines as Field & Stream, Outdoor Life and Popular Science, and the art book publisher Harry N. Abrams Inc.

The changes are a result of the departure of Peter C. Goldmark Jr., senior vice president, who became president of the Rockefeller Foundation, and the retirement this fall of Herbert K. Schnall, group vice president-consumer publishing. Wright assumes his duties immediately, and Johnson begins his new assignment July 1.
