Warren Vieth, a professor at the University of Oklahoma Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication and Oklahoma Watch contributing writer, will serve as interim editor while Oklahoma Watch’s stakeholders review the organization’s accomplishments and chart its future course.

Vieth’s first duty as editor is coordinating the production of Oklahoma Watch’s newest project, State of Addiction, which will launch mid March.
