Hindustan Times has announced the appointment of Pranshu Mishra as its Resident Editor for Lucknow. He joined in June from CNN TV18 where he was the Uttar Pradesh Bureau Chief.

The publication's Resident Editor Sunita Aron retired on September 30, after which Mishra took over.

Aron will continue to be associated with HT in an advisory and consulting role even after her retirement, according to an internal communication sent out in June.

As Deputy Resident Editor, Mishra reported to Aron. He will now report to Kunal Pradhan, HT’s Managing Editor.

"I am delighted to announce the appointment of Pranshu Mishra as Resident Editor of the Hindustan Times Lucknow edition from the beginning of this month. Pranshu, who came to us from CNN TV 18 in June, takes the baton from Sunita Aron, who, as Sukumar announced earlier, will continue to be associated with HT in an advisory and consulting role post her retirement after a distinguished four-decade-long career with the paper. Pranshu will lead all content from Uttar Pradesh -- the editorial department heads based in Lucknow, and HT’s reporters at bureaus across the state will report to him. Pranshu will report to me. Please join me in wishing him all the best in his new role," said Pradhan.

Mishra has over 20 years of experience in print and broadcast journalism.
