Erica Baskin named publisher of the Katy Times

CEDAR PARK, Texas – Erica Baskin has been named publisher of the Katy Times in Katy, Texas, and will also manage Katy Today magazine and other related publications in the west suburban Houston area.

The announcement was made February 17, 2020 by Fenice Community Media President Scott Coleman.

“I’m pleased to have Erica join us at the Katy Times. Her experience and outlook are a great fit for our group, and for the Katy Times.”

Baskin began her career in the newspaper industry selling advertising at community newspapers in Kentucky in 2004. She was later advertising director of a small daily newspaper in Alabama and publisher of a suburban weekly near Huntsville, Alabama. She and her husband have been living in the Katy area for the last four years.

The Katy Times was acquired by Katy Media Publishing, LLC in August, 2019 and is managed by Fenice Community Media. The Katy Times has published continually for more than 100 years, starting out as The Brookshire Times before eventually moving to Katy in the 1950s. After several name changes, the paper formally became the Katy Times in 1984.

Fenice Community Media publishes four community weekly newspapers, two suburban weekly newspapers, eight web sites and a host of other print and digital publications across Texas.
