A subsidiary of the Erie, Pa. company,
formed in March to invest in alternative
newspapers and headed by Art
Howe, acquires Louisville's
alt-weekly only months after its purchase
of Cleveland Free Times. Pam
Brooks, a longtime Louisville
resident and publishing executive, is the
new publisher, replacing Blanche
Kitchen Brewer, who is retiring. "It
was time," explains LEO Executive Editor
and co-founder John Yarmuth.
"My concern is the best
interest of this paper, and it supersedes
all personal agendas."
