Brad Bailey is the general manager of Press Enterprise, a seven-day-a-week newspaper and commercial printing company in Bloomsburg. With the company since March 2022, he recently observed his 32nd anniversary in the newspaper industry.
After graduating from Penn State University with a degree in advertising, he spent the first half of his career at The Daily Item in Sunbury. Brad has managed 10 daily newspapers in New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Idaho and, of course, Pennsylvania. He’s had a front-row seat to the changing newspaper business, working through seven newspaper acquisition processes while working for eight parent companies.
He’s excited to be back in his native Central Pennsylvania, working FOR a great company and being IN great company. He maintains a true love for newspapering. When he’s not attending Penn State or Philadelphia Phillies sporting events, he’s spending too much time and money shopping used bookstores for paperback novels from the 1970s and ’80s.
