2 Promotions at Monitor Parent

The Christian Science Monitor’s parent organization has promoted two executives to top-level positions as part of a reorganization that last month prompted the resignations of three of the newspaper’s top editors.

The Christian Science Publishing Society named Annetta D. Robertson, most recently the organization’s manager of broadcast publishing, to the newly created position of society general manager. Richard E. Ralston, who has been the society’s circulation and marketing manager, was named manager of print publishing.

In her former job, Robertson was instrumental in launching the organization’s nightly television news program, “World Monitor,” which is carried on the Discovery cable channel. The society said in a statement that in her new job, she will act “as chief operating officer of the society, responsible for day-to-day management and operations of the publishing society’s print and broadcast activities.”

Ralston’s new job will put him in charge of managing the business and administrative function of publishing operations, including the newspaper and news magazine, which is also called World Monitor.
