As part of a company wide shakeup, Tribune Publishing abruptly replaced the publisher of The Hartford Courant after just two months on the job. Andrew Julien has been promoted to editor-in-chief and publisher.
Gone is Tom Wiley who had just been named publisher Jan. 5. He had been executive vice president of sales at Digital First Media, which owns three Connecticut newspapers.
Tribune replaced publishers at all nine of its newspapers and combined them into the editor positions.
A 25 plus-year veteran of the Courant newsroom, Julien has overseen an expansion and diversification of the newsroom’s operations over the last four years as editor and vice president. Before that, he served as Integrated Media Editor for the Courant and Fox 61.
