Prelude to Season 2 of the Codorus Murders sit down interview with Jim McClure, former editor of YDR.
(YDR BIO)
I have been editor of the York Daily Record/York Sunday News and associated digital products since May 2004. I will retire on April 1, 2019, after 30 years with the YDR.
After Gannett Co. purchased the YDR in June 2015, I have also served as state editor for Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, overseeing six newsrooms.
For about 2 1/2 years, I served as East Region Editor for the YDR's former parent Digital First Media, with oversight for 20+ daily newsrooms and 50 or more weeklies. In that capacity, I was the senior editor on DFM on-site teams that covered the school shootings in Newtown, Conn., and the Boston Marathon bombing.
I am the author or coauthor of seven books on York County history -- “Never to be Forgotten, A Year-By-Year Look at York County’s Past,” “Nine Months in York Town, American Revolutionaries Labor on Pennsylvania’s Frontier,” “Almost Forgotten, A Glimpse at Black History in York County, Pa.,” “East of Gettysburg, A Gray Shadow Crosses York County, Pa.” and ” “In the Thick of the Fight, York County, Pa., Counters the Axis Threat in WWII.” With Scott Mingus, I co-authored “Civil War Voices From York County” and "Echoing Still: More Civil War Voices from York County."
