Shakeup at the top at Globe and Mail -- Greenspon steps down as EIC

In a major shakeup at the Globe and Mail, editor-in-chief Edward Greenspon is stepping down, to be replaced by Report on Business editor John Stackhouse. Greenspon (right) has been editor-in-chief for almost 7 years. Stackhouse, 46, (below, right) has been with the Globe since 1989 and has served as a foreign correspondent and both foreign and national editor before joining ROB.

What will happen to Greenspon was left unsaid in the statement by publisher Phillip Crawley: "I know you will join me in thanking Ed and wishing him well as he moves on to new challenges."

Three other senior management changes were also announced:
  • An (unnamed) vice-president of IT has been recruited to take over those duties from Perry Nixdorf, vice-president of operations. Nixodorf will continue to be responsible for circulation and production, including the move to new presses next year.
  • Angus Frame, will become the vice-president digital. Frame moved to the digital side from editorial last summer and was editor of globeandmail.com.
  • Roger Dunbar, who had headed digital for two years, moves to a new position as vice-president of business development and marketing.

Good riddance to that weasel who stabbed Jan Wong in the back.

Thank heavens. As a former Globe employee and newspaperman, I am saddened by the decline of this paper. The factual, grammatical and design errors I encounter every morning were pushing me towards canceling my subscription. Let's hope Stackhouse can turn it around.

Has Report on Small Business magazine died? It has mostly disappeared from the new Globe website, with the exception of a handful of stories from the current issue.
