CHICAGO (AP) — Sun-Times Media Group, which was recently sold out of bankruptcy to an investor group, has named John Barron group publisher and senior vice president of news and editorial operations.
The owner of the Chicago Sun-Times and dozens of suburban publications said Friday that Barron will remain publisher of the Chicago Sun-Times and Pioneer Press newspapers.
The company also named Fred Lebolt as senior vice president of news operations. Lebolt had been the president and publisher of Sun-Times Media's suburban news unit, and his old post is being split between advertising vice presidents Jerry Alger and Robert Wall.
Alger was named publisher of the SouthtownStar, while Wall was named publisher of Sun-Times Media's west region.
