"After 20 years at the Post, it is time for me to move on and
let someone else write the next chapter of this storied
institution. I love the Post with my whole heart and wish my
colleagues all the best. I will always be thankful to Rupert and
the leadership of the company for the remarkable opportunities that
have been afforded to me in my career," said Mr. Angelo.

Jesse Angelo and all our colleagues," said Mr. Giancola. "I look
forward to working with Michelle and Stephen Lynch and everyone at
the Post as we build on a great track record of success.”
