      Hunt, former president and chief executive officer of the Chicago Tribune Co., who went on to become president and publisher of the New York Daily News, died Saturday in Naples after a long illness. He was 69. He began his career at the Chicago Tribune in 1950 as a classified advertising salesman. Over the next 35 years, he moved up the ranks. In 1974, he was appointed president and general manager of the Chicago Tribune Co. and later that year became a vice president and director of the parent Tribune Co. In 1979, Hunt left Chicago to become president and publisher of the Tribune-owned New York Daily News. In 1984, he became president and chief executive officer of the new Tribune National Marketing Co. before he retired in 1985.
