The Stranger's Music Editor Moves to SF Weekly
Jennifer Maerz's last column for The Stranger, "Goodbye to All That: Or, Our Music Editor Gets All Mushy on Her Way Out," appears in the Feb. 2 issue. Maerz is moving to San Francisco, where she will be the music editor for SF Weekly, in order to be closer to her boyfriend. Maerz writes, "I've really loved it here -- this paper carries a strong, funny, enthusiastic, and truly independent vision of what political and cultural coverage should be. That approach is rare to find." SF Weekly's former music critic, Garrett Kamps, wrote his final "OK Then" column for the Feb. 1 issue. Dave Segal will be the new music editor for The Stranger.

SF Weekly Drops Columnist Over Misrepresentations
The departure of Harmon Leon, who wrote the paper's regular "Infiltrator" column, was announced in a Jan. 18 Editor's Note (here, last item). In last week's column, Leon wrote about "infiltrating" the Adult Video News awards show, but as local Web site SFist later noted, he misidentified the city in which the show was held. According to the Editor's Note, Leon initially claimed that he had written about a previous AVN show, but the paper later discovered that he was actually at a different adult-entertainment awards show and that he had already written about that event for another magazine. Following the publication of the Editor's Note, SFist criticized the Weekly for its handling of the incident, and said that morale at the paper "may be in decline after the departure of (former editor) John Mecklin."

The owner of the Warfield Theater in San Francisco filed suit against Bill Graham Presents on Oct. 13, according to the Bay Guardian.

Another Skirmish in the Alt-Weekly War in San Francisco
While San Francisco Bay Guardian's Bruce B. Brugmann was railing against a New Times-Village Voice Media merger that is still merely a rumor, his competitors at the New Times-owned SF Weekly were commissioning a handwriting analysis of the outspoken publisher. The handwriting expert says that B3's penmanship suggests that he's smart, respectful, and generous, and that he's "very much in control of himself and .... confident in how he impresses himself upon his environment." She also says he's a few other things as well.

SF Weekly Attributes Lawsuit to Bay Guardian Miscuesnew
In an article in this week's edition of SF Weekly, Editor John Mecklin suggests that the San Francisco Bay Guardian is facing financial problems brought about largely from the purchase of a new office building, and that these problems might be behind the Bay Guardian's suit against SF Weekly, East Bay Express and New Times, Inc. In order to counter the suit's claim that New Times' Bay Area papers are discounting ads below cost, Mecklin offers accounts of the Guardian engaging in those very practices.
