The new editor, Stephen C. George, is currently an executive editor at the Reader’s Digest Association Inc. in Greendale, Wis., according to Kalmbach's press release.
Here's more from the press release:
George is the former editor of The Saturday Evening Post. His career includes senior editorial positions at Meredith Corp.’s Better Homes and Gardens and Rodale’s Prevention. George is an experienced health and medicine editor. He oversaw coverage of the topic at Prevention and, earlier in his career, was an associate editor at The New Physician.
