Former Mountain XPress Staffer Lands at Newly Launched Competitornew
Cecil Bothwell, who was fired from the XPress last month, is now a business partner in and news editor of Asheville City Paper. The paper, which is being started by the independent weekly Columbia City Paper, will be monthly at first and hopes to go bi-weekly by Spring. A press release posted at Bothwell's blog says the City Paper, "targeting an 18-45 liberal demographic, will feature hard-hitting investigative journalism and will cover national politics, local news and music." Managing editor Todd Morehead tells the Ashvegas blog: "We're all super excited and Cecil already has a gutsy investigative piece in the works that he says Mountain Xpress was 'too timid' to publish."

Paid Partisans, Biased Bloggers, and Their Place in the Newsroomnew
In examining the "challenge that news organizations face as they look for new ways to engage the public in political discourse while trying to remain fair and balanced in their own coverage," Poynter talks to ethics experts and news editors about how they deal with the political activities of new media contributors. While the editor of Cleveland's Plain Dealer thinks writers can contribute to or work on campaigns as long as they aren't being paid, National Public Radio's news blogger says establishing written guidelines with contributors -- whether they are paid or not -- is critical. "I think the issue here is transparency," he says, recommending that if a contributor has supported a particular campaign, that needs to be noted on the blog or column (s)he writes.

Norman Mailer, Co-Founder of The Village Voice, Diesnew
Mailer, who started the country's first alt-weekly with Daniel Wolf and Edwin Fancher in 1955, died early Saturday in Manhattan. He was 84. After he finished his third novel, Mailer put up $10,000 to launch the new weekly and came up with the name, the Voice reports. "Though Mailer wanted the paper to be 'outrageous' and 'give a little speed to that moral and sexual revolution which is yet to come upon us,' his partners, he said, were more interested in making it a successful, established venture," according to the Voice. He soon started writing a column in the paper, only to quit the paper four months later because he said there were typographical errors in his column.

MBI Releases Videos and Transcripts in Case Against Orlando Weeklynew
The Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation released yesterday hidden-camera videos and 258 pages of documents from its nearly two-year investigation into the Weekly's classified department, the Orlando Sentinel reports. The MBI says the videos, which show ad reps talking about how to best word escort ads, helped convince a grand jury to indict the paper and three of its employees for allegedly knowingly selling ads to prostitutes for sex services, according to Local 6 News.

'Perry Bible Fellowship' Cartoonist Releases His First Booknew
Nicholas Gurewitch's The Trial of Colonel Sweeto and Other Stories is a collection of the best of his weekly strips, which appear in a handful of alt-weeklies across the country. The hardcover collection will be released later this month by Dark Horse Comics. To celebrate the occasion, Gurewitch talks to New York about, among other things, his comic vision, Gary Larson, and the one strip he regrets publishing. "It's the beginning of a race. And the second frame shows the racers just standing there after the gun had gone off. And the third frame reveals that the runners are not running at all but are, uh, defecating, and on the banner it says 'Poo,'" he says. "I thought that was very, very funny at the time, but now I'm undecided whether it has widespread appeal."
