AP boss Tom Curley announces resignation
After nearly nine years at the helm of the U.S. news agency Associated Press, President and CEO Tom Curley announced his resignation on Monday.
Curley had led the news agency through the most difficult times in the media industry, said William Singleton, Chairman of the Board of Directors. He was a visionary who quickly adapted the AP to the new digital times and a committee of the Board of Directors is now to look for a successor for 63-year-old Curley, who wants to continue to run the business until then. His successor should be in office by the end of the year.
Curley succeeded Louis Boccardi in June 2003 and quickly began restructuring the company. He developed products specifically for online customers and expanded the business with video recordings and multimedia content. (SDA)
