US News CEO to take same job at NY’s Daily News
NEW YORK — The CEO of U.S. News & World Report will take over the same job at New York’s Daily News.
Both publications are owned by Mortimer Zuckerman. Zuckerman announced the appointment of U.S. News head William Holiber to the top job at the Daily News in a memo to the staff Friday. He says Holiber will retain his current responsibilities at U.S. News.
Zuckerman says current Daily News CEO Marc Kramer is leaving to pursue other opportunities. Last month, Martin Dunn stepped down as editor in chief of the Daily News.
A Daily News spokeswoman said the paper had no comment beyond the memo.
Holiber was in charge of U.S. News when it downsized from weekly to monthly publication in 2008.
