Blogger: Cincy 'ass' next top editor at Fort Myers?

One of the Cincinnati Enquirer's editors reportedly interviewed for the top newsroom job at The News-Press, vacated by the recently promoted Kate Marymont, blogger Newsache says. The blog's author doesn't say which editor, referring to him only as a "bully."

Yet, one of my readers says the candidate is the Enquirer's No. 2, Hollis Towns, who once confessed to being an "ass,'' "insensitive," "unsympathetic," "insufferable," and "demanding." (Hmmm: Maybe the Fort Myers candidate is actually Mark Silverman!)

  2. @7:15 a.m.: I know these sources. (It's a whole 'nother story when it comes to comments by anonymous Gannett Blog readers.)

    People need to be held accountable, that's why.

  4. Look at what super stock is doing so far today, $28 and falling. Time for more layoffs and outsourcing!

  5. Are you sure it isn't ace metro editor Joe Kelley (who hails from Ft. Meyers)? Kelley is an excellent editor with serious hard news credentials -- competent and well regarded.
    Plus, he's a package deal with wife Eileen -- very solid investigative reporter.
    that would make more sense.
