Bruce Dold, who succeeded Gerould Kern as editor-in-chief of the Chicago Tribune two weeks ago, also will serve as publisher. Tony Hunter, publisher of the Chicago Tribune since 2008, was promoted to president of national revenue and strategic initiatives at Tribune Publishing, a new position.
At the Los Angeles Times, Davan Maharaj will expand his editor-in-chief role to include publisher and will oversee the launch of LA.com, a new website to "celebrate Los Angeles" and extend the Times brand.
Tim Ryan, who replaced Austin Beutner as publisher of the Los Angeles Times and San Diego (Calif.) Union-Tribune in September, was promoted to president of publishing, a new position that will work directly with each publisher-editor.
Dold started at the Chicago Tribune as a reporter in 1978 and was appointed to the editorial board in 1990. He earned the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing in 1994 for his series on the murder of a 3-year-old boy by his abusive mother and the failure of the Illinois child welfare system to save him. Dold was named editorial page editor in 2000.
