According to the Outer Banks Sentinel, Yes! Weekly, "an alternative newspaper" that "will focus on the cultural, political and artistic aspects of [Greensboro, N.C.]" is set to begin publication in January 2005. The paper is a venture of Womack Newspapers, Inc., which is a division of Womack Publishing Co., a publisher of 21 papers -- two of them dailies -- in Virginia, North Carolina and Colorado. Yes! will be distributed free to more than 300 racks and business locations throughout the city.

Effective Jan. 1, Chris Ferrell will take over as publisher of Nashville Scene, replacing founding publisher Albie Del Favero, who announced his retirement in July. "I hoped we could find [a successor] who was passionate not only about this paper but also about this community," says Del Favero, calling Ferrell "the ideal person for the job." Ferrell is a Nashville businessman and former Metro Council member. His hire comes on the heels of Pacific Sun's announcement regarding the appointment of another former politician, Sam Chapman, as that paper's new publisher. Chapman was chief of staff to U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer and a former member of the Napa County Board of Supervisors. He succeeds Steve McNamara, who recently sold the Sun after owning and operating the paper since 1966. "[Chapman] has an extraordinary varied background in journalism, law and politics, plus a longtime attachment to Marin County," says McNamara.
