Jim Kirk, the editor who oversaw Bloomberg‘s coverage of the White House and Congress, is returning to Chicago to become managing editor of the Chicago News Cooperative.
Phil Rosenthal of the Tribune writes, “Of his time with Bloomberg, Kirk said: ‘It was great to be part of a media organization that is full-throttle growing at this point. And being in the middle of that story in Washington at that time was incredible.’
“But his family was unable to join him in Washington, which meant flying home on weekends, which began to wear on him, his wife and kids over time.
“Kirk grew up in south suburban Dolton and graduate of Illinois State University. He joined the Tribune in June 1997 as a marketing and advertising writer. He served as a columnist and business editor before his appointment to the business section’s top job in February 2005. Previously, Kirk had been a columnist at the Chicago Sun-Times and Midwest managing editor for Adweek magazine.”
