Adam Parsons has returned home.

Parsons – who was named Advertising and Marketing Director for the Citizen Tribune recently – has returned to his Lakeway Area home in Rogersville after several years in Ohio where he served as the Regional Publisher of several daily and weekly papers.

Parsons got into the newspaper business naturally. His father, Bill Parsons, is a newspaper executive, publisher and consultant with over 50 years in the business. In fact, Parsons spent most of his youth traveling the country with his father from paper to paper.

He accepted a position in Wapakoneta, Ohio. where he lived and worked in Ohio through the week and commuted home to Rogersville to be with his family on the weekends.

Eventually the grind became too much.

“I realized it was time for me to come home,” he said. “I enjoyed my time in Ohio, the friendships and connections I made there will last a lifetime.”

Parsons says he is excited by the opportunity to continue his newspaper career back in East Tennessee.
