NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Stefanie Murray, the vice president and executive editor of The Tennessean, has resigned from the Nashville newspaper.
The Tennessean reported Monday that Murray is leaving for personal reasons.
Murray came to the paper in 2014 after serving as assistant managing editor for digital media at the Detroit Free Press and as community director at AnnArbor.com.
Last year, Murray oversaw a restructuring of the newsroom that included requiring almost all staffers to reapply for new jobs. Murray told WPLN-FM at the time that changes dubbed the “Newsroom of the Future” would include more reporters and columnists but fewer managers, shrinking the newsroom by 15 percent.
Tennessean president and publisher Laura Hollingsworth said a search for Murray’s replacement is getting underway.
