Paulson leaves USA Today

The editor of USA Today is leaving the newspaper, according to reports from the Associated Press.
Ken Paulson, who was named editor in 2004, is leaving his post on Feb. 1 to become president and chief operating officer of the Newseum and the Freedom Forum. A replacement for Paulson has not yet been named.
From the story:

Paulson, who is also an attorney but practiced law only briefly, said he wanted a chance to work daily on First Amendment issues. "A lot of people seem to take these core freedoms for granted, and I feel strongly we need to turn that around," Paulson said in an interview. "It's disturbing that America's free press, which does good and noble work every day, is held in such low regard by the American public."
