Seasonal Adk resident steps down from top Associated Press job

Tom Curley, who spends part of each year on Upper Saranac Lake, is stepping down as president and CEO of the Associated Press news service.  From his resignation letter, quoted by Huffingtonpost:

While these are turbulent times in media, AP is in a good place to make a transition. Our biggest projects, including new technology platforms and creative new products, will start rolling out over the next weeks. Nearly all major contracts are signed. We have one of the most tested and innovative management teams in media.

And we are fortunate to be guided by a board composed of savvy leaders thoroughly committed to extending AP’s mission and upholding its values.

Curley is married to Marsha Stanley, who has played an active role in Adirondack issues in recent years.
