'Daily News' Grapples With a Cooke-Free Future
The Daily News is, naturally, still reeling from last week's announcement that editor-in-chief Michael Cooke, after only 10 months at the tab, will be returning the big shoulders of Hollinger Inc.'s Chicago-area papers. E&P has more on how the News will go on without him:
The New York Daily News is not expected to replace departing Editor-In-Chief Michael Cooke after he leaves the tabloid early next year, choosing instead to turn over Cooke's day-to-day responsibilities to Editorial Director Martin Dunn.
Because nothing says "you were important to us" like nothing even bothering to replace you.
