Seattle Weekly Will Take on New Times 'Look'
Uncertainty about post-merger changes has led to multiple staff resignations at the Weekly, The Seattle Times reports. Most recently, Editor in Chief Knute Berger announced his departure, although he may continue to write for the paper. Publisher Kenny Stocker, who moved to Seattle Weekly from Riverfront Times last month, says that the new management doesn't have immediate plans for "wholesale changes," but the paper will take on some attributes common to the chain. "Some may say that's a cookie-cutter approach. All I can say is, it's worked in every market in the country," Stocker says.
