Jerome Ceppos passes
away
Former Mercury News
executive editor and Louisiana State University Mass Communication dean Jerome
Ceppos, 75, passed away.
He left
Knight-Ridder after playing a significant role there in 2005.
- Clark Hoyt, reporter at the Detroit Free Press
and Miami Herald Washington correspondent, wrote the article about Ceppos’
passing.
Knight
Ridder, based in San Jose, is defunct and The Mercury News is owned by
MediaNews Group. John S. Knight, who inherited the heavily in debt Akron Beacon
Journal from his father in 1933, built one of America’s finest newspaper
groups, Knight Newspapers. BJ owners were Knight, Knight-Ridder, McClatchy,
Black Press, Gatehouse Media and, today, Gannett, passed around and plundered
for survival and profit. The BJ began in 1839.
