Newsweek, owned by The Washington Post Company (NYSE: WPO), is seeing more upheaval: Greg Osberg, president and publisher of the news weekly, will leave the magazine, and go back to his original love: digital media, reports Folio, citing sources. He plans to stay on until early fall. No successor has been named, though Jon Meacham, the magazine’s editor, would figure to be a prime candidate, the story says.

In between his long stints at Newsweek over the last 20 years, he left in 1997 to become president of sales and marketing at CNET, but came back in 2000 to focus on building out the company’s international editions and Newsweek.com. Osberg told Folio that he is going to return to digital media space, though didn’t disclose more details…“I think it’s time to focus on the digital side. It’s what excites me and what motivates me.”
