Stan Wischnowski, the executive editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer, has resigned following twenty years working at the organization after the newspaper ran the headline “Buildings Matter, Too” on an architecture critic’s column drawing attention to the negative consequences of damaging property and buildings.

The Inquirer reported that the executive editor announced his resignation “days after discontent among the newspaper’s staff erupted over a headline on a column about the impact of the civil unrest following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.”
