New Editor Hired For New Mexico Magazine

By KRWG News

New Mexico – SANTA FE, N.M. (KRWG) New Mexico Magazine's new editor-in-chief is veteran journalist Dave Herndon, a former editor at several national magazines and New York newspapers.

The magazine is a part of the state Tourism Department and has a paid circulation of 89,000.

Herndon will be paid $92,000 a year. He replaces Tricia Ware, who was editor-in-chief since 2007.

Herndon has been living in Florida. He was editor-in-chief of Caribbean Travel & Life magazine in 2007-2009 and features editor at Sports Afield in 1998-2000. He was features editor at New York Newsday in 1989-1993, and managing editor of The Village Voice in 1986-1988.

Agency spokesman Mike Stauffer said in a statement that Gov. Susana Martinez's administration changed the magazine's top editor because "we wanted someone who can take it to the next level."
