The Hartford Courant Media Group has named Tom Wiley as its new publisher and CEO. He replaces Richard Daniels, who is leaving to head Tribune Publishing media companies in Baltimore and Allentown, Penn.
Prior to joining the Courant, Wiley was executive vice president of sales for Digital First Media. That role included oversight of New Haven Register, Torrington Register Citizen, and Middletown Press, as well as Connecticut Magazine. He had previously worked for Lee Enterprises and Berkshire Hathaway.
Denise Warren, president of Digital and CEO of East Coast Publishing at Tribune, said in a statement Wiley was selected because he brings broad experience in pushing media companies to a more aggressive digital footing.
Daniels took over as head of the Courant in late 2014 and had been running the Hartford, Baltimore, and Pennsylvania properties on an interim basis for the past several months.
