Longtime Daily News editor Martin Dunn announced today that he’ll be stepping away from the paper. “After seven years, I am leaving the Daily News to devote time to dealing with a personal family issue,” he wrote in a memo to the staff (later telling Gawker his wife is ill with cancer). “Later this year, when that issue is resolved, it is my intention to take advantage of some exciting offers in new areas of the media.” [Gawker]
