The search for a new publisher of the Ventura County Star is under way, the newspaper and its parent company, E.W. Scripps Co., announced Monday.
Tim Gallagher became the newspaper's publisher in 2004, and will step down from the post in several weeks, continuing on as a part-time assistant to Scripps Howard Publishing President Mark Contreras.
Gallagher plans to open a media and management consulting business, according to an Associated Press report.
He told the AP his stepping down to open his own business, while staying on with Scripps, gives him a chance to do something he really wants to do, while continuing his 30-year association with a company he “dearly love(s).”
Gallagher, 51, began his career with Scripps as a 19-year-old intern at The Albuquerque Tribune. He worked in several positions in Albuquerque and at Scripps's El Paso Herald-Post, then served as editor of the Tribune for eight years. After becoming editor of the Star in 2000, he gave up that position to become publisher in 2004.
