Salt Lake Tribune: Longtime scholarly Mormon publication names a new editor

Peggy Fletcher Stack wrote about the upcoming editor changeover in the Salt Lake Tribune. In “Longtime scholarly Mormon publication names a new editor” she quotes Editor Kristine Haglund as saying “I’m absolutely delighted that Boyd will be taking the reins. He is so smart — a fine scholar, a wonderful writer, and a skillful diplomat, all skills that will serve him well. But most of all, he brings a gloriously huge heart; his warmth and generosity and openness to ideas and to people embody all of the best things Dialogue is and hopes to be.”

She also quoted Morris Thurston, who said. “While there were many outstanding applicants for the position of editor, we are absolutely thrilled that the process has produced a scholar of Boyd Petersen’s caliber.”

The board believes Petersen is the right editor, Thurston said, “to lead Dialogue into its second 50 years.”
