King Harris, managing editor of the San Luis Obispo weekly, was a television news anchor until two years ago. His April 13 cover story details the careers of seven anchors who have chosen to stay in the area despite opportunities elsewhere; the last profile is of Harris himself. He reveals that he "got into the business to tell stories about people" and was dismissed by a local station for being too "folksy."

Fort Worth Weekly: Ten Years and Going Strongnew

Having reached "the tweener stage," the Weekly is proud of its warts-and-all history, which is recounted in this week's cover story. From its early days as "a raucous conglomerate of gays, old hippies, cynical journalists, fresh-faced young writers, revolving-door sales reps, and tart-tongued receptionists" facing fierce opposition from the local daily, through its sale to New Times in 2000 and resale to Lee Newquist the following year, the Weekly has focused on "critiquing the emperor’s new clothes" and has stuck by a statement made in the first issue: "We're having fun. ... And we plan to be around for a long, long time."
