East Bay Express Story Inspires Investigation of Superintendent
In a May 24 East Bay Express article, Robert Gammon explored allegations of questionable behavior by Alameda County schools Superintendent Sheila Jordan. Two trustees of the Board of Education then notified Jordan by memo that they were concerned she might have misused county resources and would like to see relevant documents, the Web site InsideBayArea.com reports. The trustees told InsideBayArea that their inquiry "was prompted in part" by the East Bay Express article.

Monterey County Weekly Story Picked Up For AOL's 'Worst Week Ever' Poll
Mehdi Shahbazi, a gas-station owner who posts signs accusing big oil companies of price-gouging, has been the subject of three articles by Raul Vasquez in Monterey County Weekly (Nov. 3, Jan. 26, May 4). However, that publicity probably did not prepare him for having his face run alongside Jennifer Aniston's on the AOL News homepage on Friday (screenshot below). Visitors to the site were invited to read Vasquez's stories and vote on whether Shahbazi or Aniston was having the "worst week ever." Aniston won the vote, but Shahbazi can take comfort in the fact that AOL calls him "a hero" who "doesn't suck."

Erik Wemple Named Editor of The Village Voicenew
"Given The Voice's devotion to the New York political and cultural scene, Mr. Wemple is an unorthodox choice," writes Motoko Rich of the New York Times, who notes that the Washington City Paper editor-in-chief has spent his entire career in the capital. "(New York) is a huge place I know very little about, and it's important for me to be very upfront about that," Wemple admits. Nevertheless, he isn't shy about criticizing the work of his future employees: "There's not enough evidence that people are thinking about innovative and fun ways to craft and present journalism," he claims. "(I)t just doesn't seem like the staff has enough fun producing a newspaper." The Schenectady, N.Y. native, who is scheduled to start his new job in July, also tells the Times that he plans to bring a non-ideological approach to news coverage at the Voice.
