The Rio Grande Guardian, an Internet publication that covers the Texas/Mexico border, has reported that major structural changes will take place at Valley Freedom Papers.

The I-publication reports: "Steve Fagan, editor of The Monitor of McAllen, is to assume the additional duties of Rio Grande Valley executive editor for the Valley Freedom newspaper group, the Guardian has learned.

"Under changes to be announced on Sunday, the Guardian understands, the editors of the Valley Morning Star, the Brownsville Herald and the other Valley Freedom titles will report directly to Fagan.

"As part of the same reshuffle, Benita Mendell, the general manager of The Monitor, is to assume the additional duties of Rio Grande Valley regional advertising director for the Valley Freedom newspaper group. The hope is that Mendell can win back lost advertising revenues for the group.

"Details of the changes were announced to staff members at the group's various newspapers via e-mail on Monday. The announcements are expected to be made public in Sunday’s editions of The Monitor, Valley Morning Star, and Brownsville Herald."
