- John_Georges abstract "John Georges (Greek: Υιάννης Γεωργής) born October 16, 1960 is a businessman from New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who formerly served on the Louisiana Board of Regents, the body which supervises higher education in his native state.On April 30, 2013, Georges completed the purchase of the The Advocate, the largest daily newspaper in Louisiana. He is the new publisher of The Advocate, a paper founded in 1842. In March 2013, Georges signed a letter of intent to purchase The Advocate, whose circulation in 2013 is 98,000 (daily) and 125,000 (Sunday) as a result of its entry and 20,000 subscriptions in the New Orleans market following the decision of the New Orleans Times-Picayune to become an on-line publication.The Advocate serves readers not only in the capital city and its environs but a swath of territory from Lafayette to New Orleans. It is among the relatively few newspapers in the United States whose print circulation is growing. Since 1909, The Advocate has been owned by Charles P. Manship, Sr., and his subsequent heirs. Georges named Dan Shea as general manager of The Advocate and Peter Kovacs as the editor.Georges is a commissioner of the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad and the chairman of Georges Enterprises. In 2007, Georges ran for governor as an Independent. He received 186,000 votes and procured a plurality in Orleans Parish. In 2010, he sought the office of mayor of New Orleans as a Democrat; he finished a distant third behind two other Democrats.In 1992, Georges was appointed by the governor to the Board of Regents, which has budgetary responsibility for Louisiana’s public higher education, including nineteen public colleges, universities, and professional schools. He has served as a member of the University of New Orleans Foundation, LSU Medical Foundation, and Tulane President’s Council. The Public Belt Commission exerts management of the publicly owned terminal-switching railroad in New Orleans and maintains the railroad portion of the Huey P. Long Bridge over the Mississippi River. In 2008, the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad celebrated the opening of its refurbished main facility.Georges is known for his philanthropic work and for the millions of dollars he has contributed to non-profits, universities, museums and civic groups. He supports a diverse group of charities, with an emphasis on education, the arts, preservation, and faith-based initiatives. He played a significant role in recovery efforts for the University of New Orleans and its Arena after Hurricane Katrina. Fluent in Greek, Georges was the President of the New Orleans Greek Community during Katrina. He is an active member of his church, The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity on Bayou St. John. He was instrumental in rebuilding his own and other churches after Hurricane Katrina. In October 2009, he hosted Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the spiritual leader of 300 million Orthodox Christians from around the world.".
