Michael Beatty, former publisher of the Baltimore Examiner and a veteran of the newspaper business, has been named publisher of The Joplin Globe.

Beatty, an Iowa native, said he is happy to be at the Globe.

“I’m very excited about the opportunity to work with a great team of professionals to serve the readers and advertisers of the Globe. I hope to bring a sharp local focus, strategic outlook and marketing experience that we need to be successful and to build on the momentum that we have already created,’’ he said.

He succeeds Daniel P. Chiodo, who retired in December. Chiodo had served as publisher of the Globe since 1996.

Beatty has experience in all facets of newspaper publishing. He has worked in large metropolitan and community markets for companies, such as Woodward Communications, the Charleston Post and Courier, Sun Times Media Group, Liberty Publishing, the Journal Register Company, Tribune Company and Clarity Media.

Beatty earned a bachelor of arts degree in business in 1977 from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. He is married to Julie Beatty. They have two children.
