McKay to Barrie

Tim McKay, a former Toronto Sun sports desk editor, has been hired by Sun Media to work at the new Barrie centre, a TSF tipster says.

An internal memo to publishers says, in part: "The addition of Tim will add another level of sports expertise to our staff as well as someone who has worked at a community daily in our chain previously. Once Tim gets up to speed, we will begin adding more shared pages for your use including a half page of business news."

Tim was editor of the Woodstock Sentinel-Review before he moved to the Sun in 2005.
