The managing editor of Audacy’s WBBM Newsradio 780AM in Chicago will resign effective Dec 10.
According to Roger Feder, Julie Mann’s resignation was announced to the staff Wednesday by Ron Gleason, brand manager and news director of WBBM Newsradio.
Mann has been with WBBM since 1995 when she joined the station as a news reporter.
“Julie has been instrumental in our news coverage, interacting minute by minute with our reporters, working closely with our behind-the-scenes team and taking care of a laundry list of needs,” Gleason wrote in an internal email.
Mann is reportedly leaving the station for a job closer to home, but she has not publicly revealed her plans.
“For me personally, I will miss her camaraderie, tremendous work ethic and the incredible amount of help she’s given me over the years,” Gleason wrote. “An invaluable resource in so many ways, she’s been a great leader, teacher and counsel to all of us.”
