Media Tycoon Black resigns post at Hollinger

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3276319.stm

Conrad Black is to step down as chief executive of a global media empire that includes the UK's Daily and Sunday Telegraph newspapers.

The move follows an internal inquiry which found that Lord Black and other executives had received more than $32m (£19m) in unauthorised payments.

The group's other assets include the Chicago Sun-Times and Jerusalem Post.

Canadian-born Conrad Black has often been described as a mini-Rupert Murdoch. A right winger, he is also a committed anglophile.
