Thornberry tapped as publisher

The Leelanau Enterprise has a new publisher.

David Thornberry joins the staff after decades in the newspaper business in a career that took him all over the country.

“(Thornberry) has a very successful history in the industry and has hit the ground running here in Leelanau,” said former Enterprise publisher John Elchert, who now is the chief operational officer of Blackbird LCC. His office remains in Lake Leelanau.
