CEDAR PARK, Texas – Susan Rovegno has been named publisher of the Katy Times in Katy, Texas and the Sealy News in Sealy, Texas. In her role, Rovegno will also manage Katy Today magazine and other Fenice Community Media managed publications in the west suburban Houston area.

Rovegno worked as a regional marketing manager for USA TODAY for several years, managed classified advertising at a community newspaper, spent more than a decade managing various aspects of circulation at The Arizona Republic in Phoenix, served as circulation director of suburban and metro newspapers in New York and Oregon, and returned to advertising sales and management with niche publications before becoming Vice President of Advertising at the Victoria Advocate in Texas.
