Circulation scandal hits Chicago media

Chicago, United States

The executive in charge of circulation for the Chicago Sun-Times has resigned, two weeks after the paper's parent company announced it had inflated its circulation figures for several years.

Stephen Hastings resigned on Monday as the Sun-Times's vice-president for circulation, according to the paper's publisher, John Cruickshank.

Meanwhile, Mark Hornung, who was vice-president for circulation from 1995 to 2001, was placed on administrative leave from his current post as president and publisher of the (Tinley Park) Daily Southtown, a Sun-Times sister paper.
