Chicago Reader interim editor Geoff Dougherty has "abruptly parted" ways with the paper, according to senior editor Michael Miner, who has had a busy eight months' worth of reporting editorial staff changes at the Reader.
[Publisher Alison] Draper says she intends to name a permanent replacement to Yablon within two weeks, hopefully sooner. She called Dougherty's departure a "personnel matter" and had no comment on it. Neither had Dougherty.
