John Mecklin, former editor at SF Weekly and Phoenix New Times, has been named editor in chief of High Country News, a biweekly newsmagazine focused on the American West.
Jim Wark has given up his post as publisher of the Richmond, Va.-based alt-weekly and intends to teach in Richmond's inner-city public schools. First, the 47-year-old will become a full-time student himself, returning to school to earn a teaching certificate and a master's in education. "I'd like to do as much good as I can with the 15 or so years of work I have left in me," Wark told the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
In her column this week, Patricia Calhoun writes about her close encounter with Mike Jones, the male prostitute from Denver who recently outed evangelical leader Ted Haggard. Jones told his lurid tale first to Calhoun before ultimately deciding to spill the beans on a local radio show. Not to be outdone, Calhoun reports that Haggard bought "mass quantities" of cock rings and other sexual paraphernalia, according to a former Denver porn-shop clerk.
The heirs of the late Sen. Barry Goldwater are in a dudgeon over a recent cover essay, the alt-weekly reports. Stephen Lemons' "Goldwater Uncut" included details about the Republican icon's bawdy, hard-drinking lifestyle that didn't make it into an HBO documentary. Lemon's source: the Goldwater family's own correspondence from an archive established by the senator in 1959 with no restrictions on public access. The Arizona Historical Foundation has temporarily blocked access to part of the documents at the request of family members.
