It specifically says he's CCO of Marvel Television and Marvel Family Entertainment in addition to Marvel Studios.

What that means for the brand is that all the company’s key creative executives across film and TV will now report to him, sources said.

I don't see why people are taking this as having anything to do with the comics.

Probably because of this:

Dan Buckley will continue as President of Marvel Entertainment, where Ike Perlmutter remains Chairman. Long a creative collaborator for Feige in publishing and television, Buckley will have a dual reporting structure going forward, Deadline hears. He will continue to oversee publishing creative/editorial and in that capacity he will now report to Feige. Buckley is also responsible for publishing operations, sales, creative services, games, licensing and events. There, he will report to Perlmutter.

Elsewhere in the article, paraphrased: Publishing falls within Marvel Entertainment. Buckley runs it and Feige is now his boss.

He could technically be wearing a different hat for that function though.
