Hollinger director quits after four days

Hollinger Inc., the Toronto-based holding company controlled by newspaper baron Lord Black of Crossharbour, announced that one of its independent directors has stepped down just four days after being named to the post.

The sudden departure of Andre Bisson, a former chancellor of the University of Montreal, was the latest sign of disarray in Lord Black’s media empire, which includes The Daily Telegraph, The Chicago Sun-Times and The Jerusalem Post.
