Another major leadership shake-up has hit Tribune Publishing: Jack Griffin has been ousted from his position as CEO. The move was reportedly organized by a partner he recently brought into the company, Michael Ferro.
Griffin will be replaced by medical-industry executive Justin C. Dearborn, the company announced Tuesday. Dearborn is a longtime associate of Griffin’s.
The news of Griffin’s ouster was first reported by Ken Doctor from Politico Media. According to Doctor, Ferro led the board to fire Griffin. Doctor also notes this is the second time in five years that Griffin has been let go as the CEO of a big media company. Griffin was previously fired at Time after six months as the head executive.
