Front Office Sports editor in chief Duerson departs

Adam Duerson, the editor in chief of Front Office Sports, has left the sports news organization after seven months.

Before joining Front Office Sports last year, Duerson had spent more than 20 years at Sports Illustrated, where he most recently served as executive editor overseeing all features — enterprise, investigations, sport beats — for SI.com and the magazine.

During his tenure, Duerson conceived and executed SI’s Daily Cover program, bringing magazine-cover-story-worthy journalism to digital scale, while also prioritizing IP and production partnerships with leading studios to create multi-functional content.

He is a University of Wisconsin graduate.
