20080402 Patuxent Publishing Company president Jim Quimby departing

Patuxent Publishing Company president Jim Quimby departing

Quimby led company's expansion into Carroll County

04/02/08 By Jennifer Broadwater

The president of Patuxent Publishing Co., which publishes the Eldersburg Eagle, will leave the company in early May.

Jim Quimby, who has served as president of Patuxent since 2000, will depart May 2 as part of a reorganization of the company, he said March 25.

Patuxent is operated by The Baltimore Sun Co., which, along with Patuxent, is owned by Tribune Co., a Chicago-based company owned by Sam Zell.

(Disclosure: I write for the Westminster Eagle and the Eldersburg Eagle, also owned by “Tribune”. Tribune also owns the Baltimore Sun – and as a matter of fact, I also write for the Sunday Carroll Eagle which is distributed in the Sunday edition of the Baltimore Sun – see: 20071021 Baltimore Sun: “To our readers”)

Sun publisher and CEO Timothy Ryan announced Quimby's departure in a statement. Ryan did not return telephone calls seeking comment on Quimby's departure.

Beginning April 9, Trish Carroll will take over as senior vice president of the Baltimore Sun Media Group's "targeted print" publications, which include those produced by Patuxent and its sister company, Homestead Publishing, in Harford County, and b, a free daily tabloid The Sun intends to launch in mid-April.

Headquartered in Columbia, Patuxent publishes 18 newspapers in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., metro areas, and several magazines and local telephone directories. Its 275 employees work in offices in Westminster, Columbia, Ellicott City, Laurel and Towson.

Carroll worked for The Sun for 16 years, in a variety of roles before taking a job directing operations and technology at The Olympian, a McClatchy Co.-owned newspaper in the state of Washington.

'A true professional'

Quimby will leave the company after 37 years in the publishing business, including nearly eight years at the helm of Patuxent.

Quimby, 55, of Harford County, described his tenure at Patuxent as a "phenomenal" experience. He said he is unsure of his next step.

"My first words to her were, 'Congratulations, you just got the best job in the whole world,' " Quimby said he told Carroll. "It's a phenomenal opportunity to work at a place like the community newspapers."

His career began in 1970, when he landed a job selling advertising for Harford County-based Susquehanna Publishing, which was purchased by The Baltimore Sun Co. in 1989.

He later worked in operations, press and packaging, circulation and distribution. He helped merge two competing newspapers in Harford County to form Homestead Publishing Co., for which he served as general manager.

In September 2000, he was named president of the Baltimore Sun Community Newspaper Group, which includes Homestead and Patuxent.

During his tenure as president, the company expanded into Carroll County with its purchase of The Eldersburg Eagle from founder David Greenwalt and the creation of The Westminster Eagle. It launched The Sunday Carroll Eagle in 2007.

Patuxent purchased Chesapeake Home magazine in 2005 and the Ellicott City-based The View newspapers in 2007.

History recalls Deep Throat, but will it pardon Mark Felt?

06/08/05

So Mark Felt, once the second highest-ranking FBI officer in America, has decided to come clean after 32 years.

In a Vanity Fair magazine article, he wore his best pair of flip-flops and now admits that he was, after all the denials for over three decades, "Deep Throat." (Remember his remarks in 1974: "It was not I and it is not I.")
