Tribune Publishing Co. (NYSE: TPUB) today announced the appointment of David Dreier to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.

David Dreier is chairman of the Annenberg-Dreier Commission, which has focused on the role of technology in enhancing prosperity, good governance, and cross-cultural links throughout the Greater Pacific. Prior to leading the Commission, Mr. Dreier served as a member of the United States Congress representing the Los Angeles area from 1980 until 2013.

“Congressman Dreier is a proven leader who brings a unique perspective based on his over three decades of public service as well as his passion for innovative research and technology,” said Chairman Michael Ferro. “David’s wealth of relationships, knowledge and expertise will be extremely valuable in guiding Tribune’s growth as the Company continues executing against our plan to create value for all shareholders and stakeholders.”

Congressman Dreier said, “Tribune has an unmatched platform of iconic brands that are vital to communities across the country. I am pleased to join the Tribune Board at such a pivotal time in the Company’s history. While I was a strategic advisor to shareholder Mount Flag Media Investment, I personally observed the unique potential of Tribune. A robust fourth estate is critical to a functioning democracy. I look forward to working closely with my fellow directors to further the Company’s efforts to expand the reach and value of Tribune’s world-class journalism for the benefit of all Tribune shareholders.”

Mr. Dreier will fill the seat vacated by David Dibble, who is resigning from the Board, effective immediately, in order to devote more time meeting the increasing demands of his roles outside Tribune Publishing.

Mr. Ferro added, “On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank David Dibble for his numerous contributions to the Company.”

Mr. Dibble said, “It has been an honor to serve Tribune and its shareholders. As I move on to focus on my other commitments, I am confident the Tribune Board and leadership team are well positioned to drive value for all shareholders.”
