Scott Brooks, vice president of advertising at the Akron Beacon Journal since 2003, has resigned to take a similar position with a startup newspaper in Washington, D.C.
Brooks will become vice president of advertising for the Washington Examiner, a free daily tabloid launched earlier this year.
Brooks' last day at the Beacon Journal will be July 22. Publisher James Crutchfield said he will conduct a search for a replacement.
Brooks, 44, joined the Beacon Journal in March 2003 and reorganized the newspaper's advertising department to focus more on smaller advertisers, Crutchfield said.
The Examiner is delivered free to 50,000 single-copy readers and to 210,000 households Monday through Saturday. Owned by Clarity Media Group, the paper offers lower advertising rates than competitors such as the Washington Post. Its home delivery targets high-income neighborhoods.
