...that Hearst has appointed himself editor, he is looking for someone to fill the newly created post of executive editor. McCulloch turned the job down but agreed to run day-to-day operations until the slot is filled. Hearst dismisses any suggestion that if he insists on ultimate control of the newsroom he may have trouble finding a successor to Burgin.
