The board that runs the Chicago Reader said Wednesday it has hired a CEO and publisher to succeed Tracy Baim, who despite a brush with disaster led the stalwart of the old alternative press era into a period of growth and financial stability.
The Reader Institute for Community Journalism said it hired Solomon Lieberman to lead the 51-year-old publication. Baim, who took over at the Reader in 2018, decided last summer that she wanted to quit this year after 39 years as a community journalist.
Lieberman was founding executive director of the Institute for Political Innovation, a think tank for nonpartisan election reform. He previously worked for Chicago’s Better Government Association, most recently as vice president of strategy and civic engagement. In the Reader’s case, the conversion was complicated by the refusal of a former owner, attorney Leonard Goodman, to authorize the switch. Goodman was angry about attempted editing of a column he wrote for the Reader about vaccines.
Baim said she has strengthened the Reader’s business operations, tripling its revenue, more than doubling its number of employees and expanding print and online readership.
