Crain's Chicago Business ME leaving paper

Brandon Copple, the managing editor at Crain’s Chicago Business, is leaving the weekly paper to join a fast-growing social networking site that offers users daily discounts to businesses, according to Phil Rosenthal of the Chicago Tribune.

Rosenthal writes, “Copple joined Crain’s in September 2004, becoming its managing editor 11 months later. Over his nearly five years in the job, he took on more of a role in Crain’s digital and multimedia efforts as well as helping direct news coverage for the weekly print edition.

“Previously, Copple was an editor with Greater Illinois Newsgroup of four Downstate newspapers, a staff writer at Forbes magazine and an intern with the Wall Street Journal. He holds a law degree and bachelor’s degree in history from from the University of Kansas in Lawrence.

“Copple will manage and edit content at Groupon, including that associated with the site’s daily deals, while also helping oversee staff expansion.”
