Rubinger named Atlanta Business Chronicle publisher

David Rubinger, who was editor of the Atlanta Business Chronicle from 1989 to 1998, has been named publisher of the weekly business newspaper.

A story on its website states, “Rubinger succeedes Ed Baker, who announced recently that he’s leaving to become executive in residence at Georgia State University’s Robinson College of Business. Rubinger and Baker will work together over the next few weeks to ensure a smooth transition.

“Rubinger rejoins Atlanta Business Chronicle and parent company American City Business Journals after 16 years in private business. He originally joined Atlanta Business Chronicle in 1989 as a staff reporter, managing editor and eventually editor from 1995 to 1998.

“Rubinger also served as a senior vice president for the Atlanta office of public relations firm Ketchum, was vice president of corporate communications for Equifax Inc., and most recently ran Rubinger Inc., his own marketing firm based in Atlanta.”
