Chris Rohland is the Publisher of Boston's Weekly Dig in Boston Massachussetts. He has been with The Weekly Dig since September of 2005. Prior to The Dig, Chris was the President and Publisher of New York Press from May of 2004 until August of 2005 and was the Advertising Director and then Publisher of Las Vegas Weekly beginning in 1998.
In 2005, Chris was highly criticized for allowing an article to run in The New York Press entitled "The 100 funiest things about the upcoming death of the Pope" written by Matt Taibbi. During this time, he suspended his editor, Jeff Koyen for running the original scrapped cover of the article in the pages of the Press even though Koyen was told not to run it. Instead of accepting the suspension, Koyen resigned as editor.
Recently Rohland was featured in an Outside the Box interview with Boston Business Journal about his time in Boston building The Dig. Rohland is a graduate of Leadership Las Vegas and has served on a number of boards including Aid for AIDS of Nevada and Boy's Hope/Girl's Hope of Nevada. He is currently a Trustee member of the Boston Ad Club.
