Tribune Replaces Newspaper Executives

Circulation scandals that have rocked Tribune Co. newspapers Newsday and Spanish-language Hoy claimed the jobs of the publications’ top two executives.

Tribune, which also owns the Los Angeles Times, said it had named Newsday President Timothy Knight publisher of Newsday in Melville, N.Y., succeeding Ray Jansen, who is retiring. At Hoy in New York, Digby Solomon Diez was named interim publisher, succeeding Louis Sito, who also is retiring.
