Joe Ungaro has been named editor of the Daily Record in Parsippany, one of two top-level appointments announced Tuesday at Gannett Co. newspapers in New Jersey.

Ungaro, who will also serve as general manager, replaces James Flachsenhaar.

Flachsenhaar was named managing director of content and audience development for four Gannett newspapers in New Jersey, the Asbury Park Press, the Daily Record, the Courier News and the Home News Tribune. He will be based at the Asbury Park Press, in Neptune.

Ungaro joined the Daily Record in 1999 as metro editor and was promoted to assistant managing editor for local content in 2002. He had previously been the night supervisor in the New York City bureau of The Associated Press, where he also worked as a reporter.

In his new role, the company said Flachsenhaar will oversee the development of content for shared and unique key newspaper audiences. He was previously executive editor of the Courier News and The News Tribune of Woodbridge.
