Christian Anderson III, the son o f Esther and Nels Anderson, grew up in Heppner. The elder Andersons, now o f Dallas, lived in Heppner 19 years and Nels was the county Extension agent. While in Heppner, Chris Anderson worked fo r Wes Sherman and wrote school news. He is now the publisher o f the Orange County Register, Santa Ana, CA, and was recently elected president o f the American Society o f Newspaper Editors during their annual convention. Chris Anderson was named California Newspaper Executive o f the Year by the California Press Association, 1993; Editor o f the Year, National Press Foundation, 1988; board member, Maynard Institute fo r Journalism Education; led the Register to the 1985 Pulitzer Prize in news photography fo r its coverage o f the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games; led the Register to the 1989 Pulitzer Prize fo r an investigation o f how faulty night- vision goggles were responsible for military helicopter crashes; founded the Spanish language newspaper Excelsior in 1992; and served as publisher o f the Colorado Springs Gazette from 1994-1998. The elder Andersons attended the gathering in San Francisco honoring their son and spent time visiting with him, his wife, Aletha, and children, Ryan, Erica, Paul and Amanda.) By Robert reporter Hernandez, ASNE While most seventh graders were adding to their baseball card collections, N. Christian Anderson III, incoming ASNE president, was writing sports stories for his small-town newspaper. As one of fewer than 1,500 people growing up in Heppner, Anderson was drawn to reading and writing. By the time was a freshman in high school, he was the sports editor for the Heppner Gazette-Times. When he was 18, he ran the paper for a summer. "I'd probably have to ask my mom," said Anderson, who could not remember when he began writing. "But I don't consider myself a good writer." Now, nearly 35 years into the journalism business, Anderson, 48, is ready to apply his experience from working at papers large and small-from the Walla Walla (Wash.) Union- Bulletin to The Seattle Times and The Orange County Register to his. new position at ASNE. Anderson will map out his goals in an address Friday. "I don't think you reinvent the organization every year. You build on its strength," he said. He plans to continue ASNE's goals of establishing better connections with communities by increasing readership and improving credibility and diversity. He will also be working with the Newspaper Association of America on an initiative to increase readership. "The new initiatives are definitely part of the plan,*' said Anderson, who returned to the Register in January as chief executive officer and publisher "The strength in ASNE is clearly in the committees' work," said Anderson, who has formed three new committees. Partnerships and Diversification, Marketing and Circulation, and Design and Presentation. "I think ASNE is an organization that is all about editors working together," he added. "The best I can do is to make certain that our goals are very clear, and be as persuasive as I can in helping editors reach their goals." "Chris is a hard charger,' said outgoing ASNE President Edward L Seaton. "He's a newspaper man through and through." Prior to joining the Register, Anderson was the publisher and president of The Gazette in Colorado Springs. He attributes most of his success to his friends and M ay 6 th - T hursday Ladles Night.
