Nathaniel Shuda, editor of the Oshkosh Northwestern since 2017, has been named to take over the same role at The (Fond du Lac) Reporter, the newspaper announced Monday.
Shuda will oversee both newsrooms as Taima Kern, who had been editor of The Reporter since 2016, moves to a new role with The (Appleton) Post-Crescent, where she will lead a team of regional business reporters.
All three newspapers are part of USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin.
A UW-Eau Claire graduate and veteran journalist of 13 years with the network, Shuda started as a reporter for his hometown (Wisconsin Rapids) Daily Tribune. He went on to join the Northwestern as a reporter in 2014 and became editor three years later.
After graduating from Ripon College, Kern joined the company in 2011. She started as assistant editor of the Action Publications weekly in Fond du Lac, a role she held for five years before shifting to The Reporter.
Kern also has served as editor of the network’s non-daily publications, which include the Door County Advocate in Sturgeon Bay and the Oconto County Reporter.

In a third staffing change, USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin also announced Kevin Dittman will take on a new role overseeing the group’s night news operations and non-daily publications.
Dittman, a UW-Oshkosh graduate, has been with the newspaper group for nearly 30 years. He started at The Reporter in 1992 as a reporter. In 2003, he joined The Post-Crescent as a copy editor and remained in the role until 2015. He has since served as a digital producer for the network.
