Stan Tiner

Stan Tiner has been the executive editor and vice president of the Sun Herald in Biloxi, Mississippi since May 2000. Although Biloxi was battered by Hurricane Katrina, the paper did not break its record of 121 years of daily delivery and continued to serve its community through the crisis. Tiner served as Executive Editor of the Daily Oklahoman in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for nearly a year, spent almost seven years editing the Mobile (Alabama) Register, and is a former U.S. Marine and a Vietnam veteran. The Sun Herald was awarded the Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal for Public Service along with the New Orleans Times-Picayune for coverage of Hurricane Katrina. Tiner was a Pulitzer finalist for editorials with colleagues Marie Harris and Tony Biffle the same year.
