Murphy named Patriot Ledger's editorial page editor

by David Arkin

John Murphy has been named The Patriot Ledger’s new editorial page editor, charged with steering the paper’s opinion pages.

Murphy comes to the Ledger from its sister GateHouse Media publication, the Enterprise of Brockton.

He had been at the Brockton paper since December 1991, first as a copy editor. During the past 11 years, Murphy was the Enterprise’s Sunday editor, overseeing the weekend edition, and its features editor, in charge of entertainment, lifestyle and related pages.

He is no stranger to opinion pages, having written editorials periodically since December 1999 for the Enterprise.

An Easton resident, Murphy graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. Prior to joining the Enterprise, he worked at the Standard Times of Wickford, R.I.; Carroll County Independent of Ossippee, N.H.; The Laconia Evening Citizen of New Hampshire; and Norwich Bulletin of Connecticut.

Murphy succeeds Jack Sullivan, who left the Patriot Ledger to join Commonwealth Magazine, a part of the public policy think tank MassINC.
