Everybody be nice to Tyler!

We've got a new editor calling balls and strikes for Axios Cleveland.

State of play: Tyler Buchanan co-launched the Axios Columbus newsletter in 2021 and recently got promoted.

• He'll soon be managing the editorial teams in both Cleveland and Columbus.

💭 Tyler's thought bubble: I have some modest Cleveland-area bona fides — my mom was a Garfield Heights Bulldog, and I grew up visiting my grandparents in the suburb.

• I idolized the Sunday Plain Dealer as a kid. Nothing beat the giant sports section with Terry Pluto, Bud Shaw and Paul Hoynes columns.
• They helped inspire my own career in news. I edited a few rural newspapers before settling in the Columbus area.

Zoom in: Tyler's a voracious Ohio news consumer and a known quantity on the site formerly known as Twitter.

• He assures us that he'll continue to provide his helpful, observant statewide coverage as we toil away in the local trenches.

Between the lines: Our former editor, Lindsey Erdody, won't be far.

• She's still editing the Indianapolis newsletter and has taken on the rambunctious personalities in Chicago.
