Time Out Chicago editor adds to duties
Time Out Chicago today announced that Editor-in-Chief Frank Sennett will also become its general manager, adding oversight of the magazine and Web site's day-to-day operations to his supervision of their editorial functions.
"Frank is the right person for this role," Alison Tocci, president of Time Out North America, said in a statement. "He will be our bottom-line, go-to guy and all around decision-maker at the office in Chicago."
The job at the three-year-old magazine is newly created, said Sennett, whose resume includes stints at MTV.com and Chicago's New City.
"The idea is to keep tabs on some of the operational stuff around here to free up my bosses [in New York and London] for more strategic pursuits," he said by e-mail.
