Liz Garrigan, who had recently been helping the
Scene out as a freelance contributing editor, will become the interim executive editor for SouthComm's three main Nashville publications: The
Scene,
The City Paper and NashvillePost.com. SouthComm CEO Chris Ferrell, who
bought the alt-weekly from Village Voice Media in August, describes Garrigan's new job as "a temporary stint of a few months' duration," during which time she will be responsible for "develop[ing] a more smoothly functioning, integrated organization" in regards to converged editorial operations.
The Tennessean reports that the integration has already begun, with SouthComm merging the
City Paper's Thursday print edition with the
Scene. (
The City Paper still publishes a print edition on Monday.)
