no greater responsibility, than to serve our community in this way.
This is our home, and my wife, Katie, and I want to help build a
stronger Casper, Natrona County and Wyoming as a whole.
“We have the largest audience in Wyoming, and continuing that
growth will remain a major priority here. Our traditional print
product is excellent, steady and reliable, especially our fantastic
Sunday newspaper. And, our expanding digital platforms allow us to
not only reach even more people than ever before, but also provide
our Full Access subscribers with a wide variety of unique,
exclusive content on Trib.com and our mobile apps.”
Bekke lauded Adrians as an accomplished leader with a strong
connection to Casper and Wyoming.
“I am thrilled to announce the appointment of Jason Adrians as
publisher of Casper Star-Tribune Communications. He has done an
extraordinary job as interim publisher, and I know he will continue
to serve our readers and advertising customers well,” Bekke
said.
Adrians became editor of the Star-Tribune in 2013 after 10 years
with the Wisconsin State Journal. In 2014, the Star-Tribune was
named Wyoming’s newspaper of the year by the Wyoming Press
Association.
Adrians is a 1999 graduate of University of Wisconsin-Eau
