F+W Media announced today that it's hired veteran outdoor journalist Alan Clemons, most recently the head of communications for the Professional Anglers Association (PAA), as its Southern managing editor for Deer & Deer Hunting magazine.
"Alan brings a wealth of journalistic experience to our team, having spent the past 25 years covering outdoors topics across the South and Southeast,” said Deer & Deer Hunting editor-in-chief Dan Schmidt. “He is not only an avid whitetail hunter, he has shown a real flair in his ability to uncover timely and fascinating topics that affect sportsmen and woman from all regions. Alan will focus on broadening the depth and breadth of our whitetail content, with a keen emphasis on our digital and web platforms.”
Clemons was the outdoors editor for The Huntsville Times for more than 14 years, and is a former president of the Southeastern Outdoor Press Association. His writing has been featured in such national publications as Outdoor Life, Cabela’s Outfitter Journal and Bassmaster, and he has done extensive online work. He's also served on the board of directors of the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame.
