Montgomery will be leaving The Hutchinson News after a decade as publisher
GateHouse Media Senior Group Publisher John Montgomery has announced he's leaving the company, effective May 8.
Montgomery was editor and publisher of The Hutchinson (Kan.) News for 10 years before it was purchased in November by GateHouse Media. He said he will be moving to the Kansas City area.
Steven Curd, Lee's Summit, Mo., will serve as interim senior group publisher until a replacement is found, which he expected to take several months.
The announcement was made to staff during a company-wide meeting.
"I decided the time was right for me, professionally and personally, to make a change in my life, to see what else is out there and try something new," Montgomery said. "I believe change is healthy. I've been at The News 10½ years. It's also healthy for the organization to have new leadership."
