“Neil was a longtime employee of Gannett and helped me throughout the years with feed support and public notice support for Gannett publications throughout the U.S.,” Kline said. “He has years of experience supporting newspapers with different advertising systems and other areas of technology.”

According to Kline, Burkhouse will work remotely from North Port, Florida, and travel to Illinois as necessary.
