Blogger Bartel Runs Into Trouble at Couric 'Listening Session'

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Matt Bartel was invited to Katie Couric's town meeting despite a ban on media, because the local CBS affiliate that organized the event "apparently didn't recognize the name Bartel (ubiquitous in Twin Cities publishing circles)." AAN members may be familiar with Matt's uncle, City Pages Publisher Mark Bartel, or his parents Tom Bartel and Kris Henning, who co-founded City Pages as well as its competitor, The Rake. After learning that Matt Bartel had a blog, staffers confiscated his pen, but he reports that he wouldn't have used it anyway. "I didn't get anything out of it, which is exactly what the evening news is," Bartel says.

Colorado Springs Independent Offers $1,000 To Replace Managing Editor

Colorado Springs Independent Managing Editor Vanessa Martinez is leaving the paper to help launch the Rocky Mountain Chronicle, an alternative newsweekly scheduled to debut in Fort Collins this October. With her departure, the Independent seeks to fill "one of the most important, challenging and fun jobs in the Pikes Peak region: editor of Colorado's second-largest locally owned media enterprise." Because the paper is hoping to find a new editor with local ties, it is turning to its readership for suggestions. As incentive, the individual "who persuades the right candidate to apply" will be given $1,000. Application information is available on csindy.com.
