The Chicago Sun-Times<\/a> boosted two top bosses Friday with the promotion of interim CEO Nykia Wright to CEO and editor-in-chief Chris Fusco to executive editor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy for Nykia and Chris,\u201d Jorge Ramirez, board chairman of the Sun-Times Media, said in a statement. \u201cThey have done a great job navigating a volatile business model in volatile times. The Sun-Times and all of our constituents are lucky to have them.\u201d<\/p>\n
