COLUMBIA — As The Post and Courier, South Carolina's oldest and largest newspaper, continues to expand its presence throughout the state, Columbia publisher Bernie Heller will take on a new role in leading that charge.
Heller has been promoted to chief revenue officer overseeing Post and Courier publications serving expansion markets Greenville, Spartanburg, Rock Hill, Florence, Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head, in addition to continuing to lead The Post and Courier Columbia and Free Times, the weekly print publication covering arts, food and culture in the capital city.
Heller’s promotion comes alongside the departure of Chase Heatherly, who has worked for The Post and Courier since 2017, being most recently promoted to CRO in 2023. He leaves to take on the same role with the Georges Media Group in New Orleans, owners of such properties as The Times-Picayune | The New Orleans Advocate.
“I’ve known and been a fan of Chase and Evening Post Publications for more than a decade, the last three as his direct report, so I am thrilled to be able to continue building on the solid foundation he leaves behind,” Heller said. As CRO, he will also take charge of The Post and Courier’s in-house marketing agency, King & Columbus.
