Editors Note: After 10 years as The Commercial Appeal’s Metro columnist, Wendi C. Thomas is taking a new assignment. As part of The CA’s ongoing reorganization focused on its digital platforms, Thomas has been named to lead expanded coverage of crime and justice in the Memphis area. Over the past year the newspaper has reorganized around topics of importance to readers – including college and professional sports, entertainment and investigative – and has expanded coverage of other topics, including crime and justice and government and politics. Thomas’ reassignment is part of the continuing realignment of resources to support significantly increased offerings to readers online and on mobile devices. She will lead a three-member team and continue to write as part of the new assignment. “As our first Metro columnist (at least in my memory), Wendi plowed a lot of new ground,” Editor Louis Graham told the staff today. “My expectation is she’ll do the same with the ‘Safe in Memphis’ team. She’s creative, understands and uses digital to great advantage, and is a superb editor.”
