Alexander Gould has been appointed publisher of The Meridian (Miss.) Star.

Gould comes to Meridian from Texas where he served as integrated sales director for M. Roberts Media, which includes the Longview News-Journal and Victoria Advocate.

"I understand the role The Star plays in Meridian, and I am looking forward to working with the staff to serve this great community with our print and digital platforms," Gould said.

Gould said he will become active in the Meridian business and civic communities. He will relocate to Meridian with his wife Jennifer and their 6-year-old twin daughters.
