By: E&P Staff Another publisher of a big metro paper is stepping down.
Kathleen Waltz, publisher of the Orlando Sentinel, resigned today. Howard Greenberg, publisher of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, a sister publication to the Orlando Sentinel, will take her place as interim publisher and CEO until a permanent successor is found.
According to the Orlando Sentinel's Christopher Boyd, Waltz is leaving after Tribune decided to "streamline" the chain of command for its smaller papers. Waltz had oversight of three of Tribune's smaller papers while Bob Gremillion, executive vice president of Tribune Publishing handled the other three. (Waltz answered to Gremillion.) Under the new structure, management at Tribune's smaller papers will report directly to Gremillion.
"I saw this as a good opportunity for me to leave," Waltz told Boyd, adding that she has no plans "at this point."
It marks the end of Waltz's 34-year career with Tribune after starting with the company when she was 19.
On
Wednesday, Sam Zell the new owner of Tribune announced a 2% reduction in the workforce.
Waltz is the latest head to leave paper following publishers in Ft. Worth, San Jose, and Orange County.
