Boston Globe Editor Brian McGrory to Step Down

The editor of The Boston Globe, Brian McGrory, will step down in the coming months after leading the organization for 10 years, the newsroom was told on Wednesday.

Mr. McGrory, 60, will stay on until the end of the year or when there is a successor in place, Linda Henry, The Globe’s chief executive, said in a memo to the newsroom. Mr. McGrory will become the chair of Boston University’s journalism department and will write an opinion column for The Globe.

The Globe has already begun the search for its next editor, Ms. Henry said.

“For the past 10 years, Brian has been a vital part of the leadership of this organization as we embarked on a radical transformation,” Ms. Henry wrote in the memo.
