New publisher at Chicago Tribune

Tony Hunter takes over as publisher at the Chicago Tribune. The boss calls him a "change agent":

"Tony has spent his life in the publishing business and we still think he's the right guy for the job," Randy Michaels, Tribune Co. chief operating officer, said in a statement. "He understands the Trib and appreciates its history, but he's also a change agent, a creative leader who is eager to move the paper in a new direction so it can compete for more readers and advertisers."
