American Media tapped Tracie Altman, 36, as publisher of the Enquirer and Star after an extensive search by President-CEO David Pecker. Ms. Altman, formerly ad director of the titles, spent the last six years with American Media. Ultimately, she will have responsibility only for the Enquirer, but will oversee the Star until a publisher is found. Tony Hoyt, former publisher of the two tabloids, left after Mr. Pecker acquired the company.
