Porter leaves Crain's
Arthur Porter,
the publisher of Crain’s Manchester Business has left the title to “spend more time with his family and pursue other interests.”

Group publisher, Christopher Crain said in a statement to the paper:

“Crain's wishes Arthur all the best in his future endeavours. We remain committed to providing the greater Manchester area with top notch business news and information.”

The news comes less than a month after disciplinary proceedings were initiated against Porter, following his behaviour at the Best Places To Work event in June.

He was accused of gross misconduct, although there was no mention of this in today's announcement.

Porter had been at the helm of the Crain’s Manchester title for 2 years and became a regular source of comments on the pages of How-Do, particularly with his hard-line approach to advertising.

As previously reported, Kathryn Toledano has been promoted from her role as director of advertising, to associate publisher. Steve Bauner will remain as editor.

Pretty obvious what's happened here then despite the standard line of why he's left.

Congratulations Kathryn, lets hope Crains will permitt take a more pragmatic approach to ad sales. 
You can stick to your guns on advertising rates later on, after you have built up a controlled free requested circulation worthy of consideration.

Not sure Kathryn has quite the weight and Gravitas Porter did, and seems an odd appointment, but good luck to her.
