Tribune Names Baltimore Sun Publisher, CEO

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Tribune Publishing Co. has named Rick Daniels to lead The Baltimore Sun.

The newspaper reports Tuesday that Daniels was named CEO and publisher and will oversee media groups anchored by the Sun and The Morning Call, based in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Daniels has been serving the role on an interim basis since September, when Tim Ryan was named CEO and publisher of the Los Angeles Times. Daniels previously worked for The Boston Globe and as CEO of GateHouse Media New England.

The Baltimore Sun Media Group includes local newspapers such as the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, the Carroll County Times, The Aegis in Harford County, the Howard County Times, the Towson Times, and Baltimore's alt-weekly City Paper.
