Crain’s Cleveland publisher to retire

Brian Tucker, publisher and editorial director of Crain’s Cleveland Business, announced he will retire in the coming months after 28 years with the business newspaper.

A story on its website states, “At the same time, John Campanelli, the editor of Waste & Recycling News, has joined Crain’s Cleveland Business as associate publisher/editorial. He will become publisher upon Mr. Tucker’s retirement.

“Waste & Recycling News, like Crain’s Cleveland Business, is published by Detroit-based Crain Communications Inc.

“No specific timetable has been set for Mr. Tucker’s retirement, but he said the transition will occur sometime near the end of 2013 or early in 2014.

“Mr. Tucker announced his plan to his staff on Monday, Aug. 5, a day after his 62nd birthday.

“‘I’ll just look to see what my next adventure will be,’ he said. ‘I have a lot of emotion and intellectual energy invested in Cleveland and Greater Cleveland, and I want to figure out the best way to use that for an organization or a company.'”
