Salem Media Group Chief Operating Officer David Evans commented, “Jonathan has earned this promotion with his relentless dedication to the success of Townhall Media and his passion for fair politics, together with his strong leadership of the tremendous Townhall Media team. I am sure Townhall Media operations will continue to excel under Jonathan’s leadership; he is a true asset to both his team in D.C. and to Salem Media Group as a whole.”
Jonathan Garthwaite has been with Townhall Media since its inception in 1995, overseeing all editorial and technical operations since 1998. Salem acquired Townhall Media in 2006 and in 2009, Garthwaite was appointed Vice President and General Manager.
“From the early years incubating Townhall at the Heritage Foundation to the last sixteen years of explosive growth at Salem Media Group, it has been the honor of a lifetime to work with all my colleagues. They are simply the best in the political news and analysis business over the past twenty-seven years,” Garthwaite remarked. “There is nothing more satisfying than working hard each day on a mission-driven business with a team of talented writers, marketing pros and digital strategists to fight for America’s future with fairness and truth in political news. Without the executive team and everyone at Salem during the last sixteen years of expansion, innovation and business success could not have been possible. Everyone at Townhall Media is grateful.”
