Erik Wemple's coworkers at Washington City Paper had been "excited about the opportunity" for him to become editor of the Village Voice, he tells Mediabistro's FishbowlDC a week after changing his mind about taking the position. That doesn't mean they were anxious for him to leave: "Proof of Wemple's worth to the City Paper can be found in the fact that you'll be hard pressed -- and trust us, we've tried -- to find a CityPaper employee who's not pleased to have Wemple back in the saddle," FishbowlDC Editor Patrick W. Gavin writes. Wemple does acknowledge that "there are clearly legitimate questions about whether my head is in the game at this stage" -- questions that he intends to answer by doing solid work.

Linda Erickson could be awarded millions of dollars in actual and punitive damages, her lawyer told The Post and Courier in Charleston. Erickson sued the City Paper's parent company, Jones Street Publishers, claiming that the newspaper defamed her in a January 2000 story on court-appointed guardians for children. The story contained "unfounded allegations against Erickson's professional abilities" made by the grandmother of a child for whom Erickson was a guardian, even though Erickson was not identified by name, according to The Post and Courier. A new jury will be seated to award damages.
