Murdoch Davis doffs his Beaver hat

Only 8 months after becoming Editor of The Beaver magazine, Murdoch Davis has jumped ship to become the publisher/editor of the Gary (Indiana) Post-Tribune, which is owned by Hollinger International Inc. (We reported his appointment at The Beaver last September.)

From 2003 until April 2005, when he was fired, Davis was publisher of the Winnipeg Free Press. Before that, he was vice-president of editorial for CanWest.

The Beaver is published in Winnipeg by Canada's National History Society.
