The Philadelphia Inquirer recently announced the appointment of media executive Lisa Hughes as Publisher and CEO, replacing Terry Egger, who recently told The Inquirer’s board of his plans to retire. Lisa had served in the company’s top role for four years, during which the ownership of the company was donated to a non profit entity, the Lenfest Institute for Journalism. Lisa, who has served since 2018 on the Board of Directors of The Inquirer, was most recently the Publisher and Chief Business Officer of The New Yorker.
