In 1948 Creighton joined the Toronto Telegram as a police reporter.[2] He advanced to the position of city editor in 1967 and rose to the position of managing editor in 1969.[1]John Bassett, the owner of the Telegram, shuttered the paper in 1971. Creighton founded the Toronto Sun with many of the Telegram's former employees and led the Sun to become a national chain of newspapers under the banner of Sun Media.[1]
Creighton was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1991.[3][1]
Creighton's career came to an end in 1992, when the board of directors of the Toronto Sun Publishing Corp unexpectedly removed Creighton from his position as CEO.[1]
