Timothy Knight resigned Wednesday as Newsday publisher, saying in a note to staff, "Now is the right time to let others move our business forward."

He'll be replaced by Terry Jimenez, publisher of amNewYork, a related publication distributed free in New York City, according to an announcement by Tad Smith, president of Cablevision Systems Corp.'s local media unit, which includes Newsday and News 12. Jimenez becomes Newsday's acting publisher.

A call to Knight's office at Newsday's headquarters in Melville was returned by Newsday spokeswoman Deidra Parrish Williams, who said, "There isn't going to be any comment beyond the note that went out."

Knight had been publisher for five years.

His departure comes at a time when Newsday, like most major newspapers, is struggling with declining circulation and advertising revenue as some readers get their news from the Internet and other electronic sources, and advertisers follow them. The downturn in ad revenue has been exacerbated by the economic recession.

>> “Now is the right time to let others move our business forward.”

...like, maybe, Obammy and the ‘Rat administration? Switch to a non-profit and let the Feds fund you?

Business, my eye.

Jumping ship before the big bailout hearings? Wondering if the way the Car and Financial "kings" were dragged and flogged in the press had anything to do with it?

Anyone keeping an eye on his shares of stock?

I’m sure he would never do anything unethical.

Of course he learned his ethics lessons from Charlie “The Tuna” Rangel, so you know it’s all squeaky clean.

Free is probably exactly what Newsday is worth, so Jimenez will be perfect for the job.
