Feder writes, “Podmolik, who held the No. 2 job in the department, succeeds Mike Kellams, who surprised his staff by announcing he had accepted a voluntary buyout after 17 years at the Tribune, and that Thursday was his last day.
“‘Mary Ellen has always impressed us all with her deliberate nature, her thoughtfulness and her candor,’ Peter Kendall, managing editor of the Tribune, said in an email to employees. ‘These are the traits of a natural leader and make Mary Ellen uniquely well-suited to assume this critical role in the newsroom.’
“Podmolik joined the Tribune in 2008 as a business reporter and columnist specializing in housing and real estate, and was promoted earlier this year to deputy business editor. A graduate of Marquette University, she previously worked for the Sun-Times, Daily Southtown and the Kokomo (Indiana) Tribune.”
