The ABA Journal has hired John O’Brien as publisher and editor-in-chief, Bob Ambrogi reports on his LawSites Blog. O’Brien is a journalist who has held several reporting and editing roles in the Chicago area. Most recently, he was a senior editor/copy chief at Patch.com. O’Brien replaces former editor and publisher Molly McDonough, who resigned in September after three years in that role and 18 years as a member of the ABA Journal’s editorial staff. Her resignation came after ABA-imposed budget cuts at the magazine and before its move to a .org website platform that does not support all of the editorial and advertising features now available on ABAJournal.com.
