Margie Robinson-Jeter died May 26, according to an obituary published this weekend in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Robinson-Jeter, 41, was hospitalized two weeks ago after suffering "cardiac arrest," according to an e-mail sent to AAN by Style Weekly Publisher Jim Wark. Memorial services for Robinson-Jeter were held this afternoon.
Tampa's alt-weekly was formerly called Creative Loafing, and it will be called that again this fall, according to Editor David Warner. But a "universal brain fart'" led the paper to mistakenly make the change several months ahead of schedule and run its latest issue under the nameplate of its sister publications in Charlotte and Atlanta. "The error was partly due to the fact that while the editing staffs for Tampa and Sarasota are in Florida, design and production for all four papers in the Creative Loafing chain is done in Atlanta," Warner wrote last week on his paper's blog. "But such an error has never occurred before, and we here in Tampa should have been more alert."
President Bush announced last week that he was appointing Karl Zinsmeister, editor of American Enterprise magazine, as the White House's new domestic policy adviser. Two days later, The New York Sun reported that Zinsmeister altered a 2004 profile of himself written by Justin Park for the Syracuse New Times and posted it on the American Enterprise Web site. Park's byline still appeared on the amended article, but several quotes from Zinsmeister had been softened, including one calling residents of Washington, D.C. "morally repugnant" and another criticizing the Bush Administration's conduct of the war in Iraq. In the Washington Post this morning, Zinsmeister admits he made the changes but claims he was merely correcting mistakes made by Park, even though he sent the New Times reporter a laudatory message after the profile was published. New Times Editor Molly English called Zinsmeister's conduct "reprehensible ... Once this is published, it's not his property. From that point in time, he can't just pick and choose," she told the Sun.
