By: E&P Staff Brian Tierney, chief executive officer of Philadelphia Media Holdings L.L.C., has now taken the vacant publisher's title at the properties PMH purchased in June: The Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News, and Philly.com.
Former publisher Joe Natoli announced Aug. 1 that he was resigning to join the University of Miami.
In buying the papers, Tierney and other investors had signed a pledge that "no member shall attempt to influence or interfere with the editorial policies or decisions of the publisher."
Tierney said he would respect that pledge, the Inquirer reports Monday, "and would not let his interests or those of other owners affect his editorial policies and decisions as publisher."
Inquirer editor Amanda Bennett said she and other editors had encouraged Tierney to take the publisher's slot.
