Citizen Files Complaint to Stop Delivery of Baltimore Examinernew
A local attorney is seeking a restraining order to halt unwanted delivery of the free-commuter daily to his home, the Baltimore Sun reports. While Joel L. Levin is the first to take legal action, the woes of residents attempting to stanch the flow of Examiners were recounted in an earlier Baltimore City Paper article. Examiner Publisher Michael Phelps responded to the suit this weekend with an open letter that acknowledged the complaints and conceded that "for Mr. Levin and a small handful of residents, our service has not been perfect."

Speculation About VVM's L.A. Moves 'Simply Silly,' Lacey Saysnew
LA Observed broke the news this week that Jill Stewart had been hired as the news editor at LA Weekly and surmised, "With Stewart around you have to wonder about [LA Weekly Editor Laurie] Ochoa's authority (and how much of her survival under New Times is connected to her marriage to award-winning Weekly food writer Jonathan Gold.)" Village Voice Media Executive Editor Michael Lacey answers: "Frankly, this is the sort of conspiratorial brilliance I’d expect from someone pushing a shopping cart loaded with all their worldly possessions … Ochoa is my editor." Lacey also praises David Zahniser's investigation of the death of labor leader Miguel Contreras, and savages columnist Harold Meyerson, who resigned from the paper earlier this week after unloading a few parting shots of his own.
