The publisher named to take over the Orange County Register earlier this month has pulled out of the job after questions about her resume, the Register reported Wednesday.
Marti Buscaglia, publisher of the Duluth News Tribune in Minnesota for the past
five years, was set to join the Register on July 9.
She won’t be taking the job now because of a misrepresentation of her educational background, the Register quoted current publisher N. Christian Anderson as saying.
Buscaglia was set to take over as publisher reporting to Anderson as chief executive of Freedom Orange County Information, the unit of Irvine-based Freedom Communications Inc. that publishes the Register.
Her resume wrongly listed graduation from Lima University in Peru, according to the Register.
“I take full responsibility for it,” Buscaglia told the Register. “It’s one of those things you put on a resume when you are young and stupid and you can never take it back.”
Anderson is set to continue as Register publisher while it searches for a new publsiher, according to the paper.
