JEFF PARRA NAMED BRENHAM BANNER-PRESS’ NEW EDITOR, PUBLISHER

  

The Brenham Banner-Press has named its next editor and publisher.

Jeff Parra is a native of Johnson County, Kansas, but is no stranger to Brenham after attending Blinn College in 1981-82.  He then transferred to Kansas State University before serving from 1983-88 in the U.S. Marine Corps, reaching the rank of sergeant.

Parra began his career in the newspaper business in 1994 in advertising, before becoming an associate publisher and later publisher.  He most recently served as the publisher at The Boerne Star.

Parra is replacing Derek Hall, who had been the publisher at the Banner-Press since August 2019 and had worked at the paper since 2000.
