The
Tulsa World agreed yesterday to drop
Urban Tulsa Weekly and its editor and publisher Keith Skrzypczak from
a libel suit filed last week against the publication and columnist Michael Bates, who remains the lone defendant in the suit. Executives from the
World say the
Weekly acknowledged it had published incorrect information about the daily newspaper's circulation in Bates' column. "We now understand the legitimate concerns of the
Tulsa World and appreciate the chance to sit down with its representatives, review their information and correct the record," Skrzypczak says in
a letter to readers.
