After a two year respite from the newspaper industry, The Covington News General Manager T. Pat Cavanaugh is thrilled about the prospect of getting back into the swing of things. Cavanaugh, who served as publisher of the Times Georgian in Carrolton in the mid-90s, sees his new position at the News as a homecoming of sorts, and is looking forward to getting to know the people and places of Newton County. "It's great to be home," Cavanaugh said.
