Time Inc. Names New Editorial Director for Sports Illustrated

Managing editor Chris Stone will replace Paul Fichtenbaum

Time Inc. didn't have to look far to find a replacement for Sports Illustrated group editor Paul Fichtenbaum, who announced on Wednesday that he'll be stepping down at the end of the month after more than 26 years at the publication. Today, the company named Sports Illustrated managing editor Chris Stone as Fichtenbaum's successor, promoting him to editorial director for Sports Illustrated, Golf and SI Kids.

Like Fichtenbaum, Stone is a longtime Sports Illustrated veteran, having joined the magazine as a fact-checker in 1992.
