It seems like just last week that we were watching the Globe‘s Editor-in-Chief, Edward Greenspon, excitedly introduce his paper’s new website. Because it was just last week! And now he’s out after twenty-three years of working on the paper (and editing it for seven), replaced as Editor by John Stackhouse, Report on Business‘ editor since 2004. In an email sent out to employees, publisher Phillip Crawley said Greenspon was “stepping down,” but also wrote that “reimagination-inspired teamwork during the last four years has reinforced the value of a more collaborative way of managing our business….I have reviewed the composition of the Executive Team, and identified priority areas for improvement. New skills and different styles of leadership are needed.”
