Jack Griffin Named CEO of Tribune Publishing

Will head publishing division after spinoff

The Tribune Co. named the leadership of its soon-to-be-spun-off print division, Tribune Publishing Co., with veteran magazine publisher and its former advisor Jack Griffin heading it as CEO.

Tribune Publishing will consist of The Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times and six other daily newspapers after the spinoff, which is expected to be completed by mid-2014. Parent Tribune Co., which emerged from bankruptcy in 2012, will retain its more lucrative non-print assets after the spinoff, including TV stations, programming businesses, digital holdings and real estate.
