Martin Dunn Leaves The New York Daily News

After seven years, New York Daily News editor Martin Dunn is stepping down from the position, citing a “personal family issue,” although he says he will continue working in the media in some capacity.

His good-bye memo, via Gawker (who is insinuating there might be other factors at play in Dunn’s decision) to staffers appears after the jump.

Runnin’ Scared talked to staffers at the Daily News and, while some aren’t reading much into Dunn’s decision, one source said the reason he may be waiting a few months to announce his next move is because he has a non-compete clause and hints to some sort of possible “shakeup” in upper management — a rumor the source did not elaborate on.
